How Disney can bring Ben Solo back to Star Wars:

Everyone’s inner Reylo being reactivated by *that* Adam Driver interview this week: #THBS #TheHuntForBenSolo #StarWars

What a wonderful post-vacation surprise! Thank you so much to the Star Wars team for sending me this incredible Visions themed package! I was already incredibly excited for Vol. 3, and now I’m literally counting the days! This meant the world to me💙

and that’s TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS raised for the PCRF so far!! #TheHuntForBenSolo gofund.me/f69be9c6d

A big thank you to the Star Wars team for sending me this lovely package ahead of the Volume 3 release of #StarWarsVisions. Just five days now until the season premiere and I’m more hyped than ever!! 😄🖤

… Star Wars … ?

Breaking into LFL to snag that Hunt for Ben Solo script…. #StarWars

"If you want to make room for the white working class, you must make room for Nazism" is a truly depressing referendum on a lot of different things at once

"I’m selling movies, yes. But if I can do it with art, with beauty, in a way that reaches people and touches them... that’s what makes me happy." - Drew Struzan

The suits: So…how is he even alive?

Disney’s skittishness over committing to a consistent overarching vision for #StarWars has been the biggest uphill battle for Lucasfilm this past decade. #TheHuntForBenSolo is only the latest manifestation of that issue, which this video ably demonstrates. 👍

This Ben Solo news is frustrating. youtu.be/vqeUUaPBFEE?...

Woke up thinking about Ben being haunted by any one of these people, either as a ronin Jedi, or on his way back to the land of the living. 😭 Remind me again why it was a good idea to cancel this movie? #TheHuntForBenSolo #BringBackBen #StarWars

If only this had been foreseeable or could be corrected in some way… www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

hey star wars fandom, what's going on toni-

I’m never going to recover I fear

How it genuinely feels watching the rising tide of #StarWars fans (rightly) getting mad over being denied a new Ben Solo movie by Disney: #BringBackBen #TheHuntForBenSolo

The fact that we almost got a Ben Solo movie starring AND developed by Adam Driver, directed by Steven Soderbergh (Ocean’s trilogy, Contagion, Traffic, Logan Lucky), and from writer Scott Z. Burns (Bourne Ultimatum, Rogue One, Side Effects)….. This movie needs to happen

The #StarWars fandom needs to come together right now and say in a single unified voice to Disney: “we don’t care how Ben Solo comes back to life. Only that he comes back to life!” #BenSoloLives

Fascists in 2024: Ah ha ha!! Run to Bluesky, you pussies! Twitter is OURS now. Fascists in 2025: it appears I have misunderstood how much I need attention

‘Sounds From Nowheresville’ feels weirdly underrated, at least from where I’m standing. ‘Soul Killing is my clear favourite, but there’s also songs here like ‘Guggenheim’ and ‘Give it Back’ that really grow on you with repeat listenings. 🤘🎸

I find it really interesting how words change meaning over time. For example words like 'wicked' have evolved to mean different things. You can see it in the modern world too. For example the word 'faster' in the sentence 'Create this faster with AI' actually means 'shitter' instead of quicker.

For my third big album binge, I picked the Ting Tings. ‘We Started Nothing’ was easily one of my favourite albums of the 2000s with its punchy, indie-pop sound. I must have listened to ‘Great DJ’, ‘Fruit Machine’ and ‘Shut Up and Let Me Go’ at least 20+ times as a teenager! 😂🤘

Nuts that #Gorillaz announced this album the day AFTER I finished my album binge. The timing literally couldn’t have been better for my hype to begin! 😂🤘 #TheMountain

Drew Struzan was to film posters what Tolkien was to fantasy writing or John Williams is to scoring, in that his work feels so fundamental to the medium, elemental and timeless. RIP to a true artist… 💔

So much in Star Wars has changed since I started the 365 Star Wars Women Project in 2018. (I've just started work this year to make the database much more accessible, more soon, hopefully). But the trolls and attention seekers are still out there. They've got nothing better to do. Screw 'em.

Overdue in saying this, especially with the amount of time I’ve spent listening to Sabrina Carpenter lately, but the transition from ‘Nobody’s Son’ to ‘Never Getting Laid’ really slaps! 👌 #mansbestfriend

Tron: Ares feels like a special kind of torture for #StarWars fans because what do you mean our favourite ginger Jedi is stuck in a bit part while we’re forced to accept *that guy* as the lead?! Cameron Monaghan deserved better.

3 years since I voiced an intrusive thought/joke that has haunted me ever since… 😅 #Andor #StarWars

It gets weirder considering what goes on in The Ultimates 3! That was not a good time to be a fan of the Maximoff twins! 😰😭 #Marvel

Consistently impressed with the variety and quality of Star Wars publishing.

STAR WARS: LEGACY sounds like it's 100% my jam.

Continuing on with the MCU binge. In summation, The Avengers still rules, Iron Man 3 has some of the best villain dialogue, and I now realise why it took me 12 years to watch Thor: The Dark World in full for a second time… 😬 #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Question Time engages in Billionaire backed consent, Reform are popular because we put them on ever single week, and on the BBC every single day. The Left Wing are minor and unpopular because they are almost never on Question Time and the BBC almost never mentions them. #bbcqt

I have now listened to “Sympathy is a Knife” and I think that this song may have converted me to being a Charli fan. Deeply personal and a great exploration of how imposter syndrome warps your perception of how you think others/friends perceive you. 👏 😭

Spooky Season Star Wars recommendations:

Skipped over this for the most part last year, but now I might have to give this a proper listen thanks to recent *events*… 😅 #brat

I brought up this exact theory during our Celebration Bingo episode of @fortherepublicpod.bsky.social a few months ago. It’s absolutely wild, but would also be a great way of incorporating certain characters and actors into the story beyond just flashbacks, so I’m all for it. #StarWars #Ahsoka

True Story. I'm old enough to understand that "happy endings" are temporary and fleeting.

I remember when I used to go DAYS—WEEKS EVEN—without thinking about the President of the United States because I wasn’t worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

Still woefully behind on my #HighRepublic reading, but I did finish ‘Escape From Valo’ yesterday and this passage really stayed with me. The authors behind this era are just so good at these moments of emotional profundity. 😊📖 #StarWars @djolder.bsky.social @crashwong.bsky.social

Sabé has been my favourite element of the Greg Pak Darth Vader series, and more Keira Knightley in #StarWars is an automatic win anyway so this is music to my ears! ‘The Queen’s Shadow’ would also go unbelievably hard as a title! #DoIt

This was a jam-packed episode this week! Next up, our 100th episode!!!!!

NEW EPISODE! Episode 99, huh? Nice touch! It’s a busy week for Star Wars, from the newest Lego special, to new trailers for Visions and The Mandalorian & Grogu, to Starfighter’s production, let’s talk about it all! 🎙️: open.spotify.com/episode/27jm... 🎥: youtu.be/LvJxnvet6nw?...

Jane Goodall made a huge positive mark on the world doing good work she genuinely loved for decades and decades. We need more people like her, and she will be deeply, permanently missed.

Vance has no moral core. Just a weak, miserable, smarmy, hatemongering racist troll. Deeply shameful and wicked.

It's the wonderful @arezouamin.bsky.social's birthday!!! And for her birthday you should preorder her SUPERB debut romance novel The Aroosi Arrangement! Support West Asian and Iranian creators especially those like Arezou!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-aroosi...

The way JK Rowling is acting towards Emma Watson you'd think she'd have told her that everyone deserves equal rights or healthcare regardless of how they were born or something
