"Star Wars: The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown" by Tessa Gratton @tessagratton.bsky.social has a Star Wars first: a nonbinary/nonbinary romance between Lionine "Lio" Graf (they/them) and Rhos Arthyst (he/him, she/her). Another NB character is Rap Arcon (they/them). GET THIS BOOK NOW. 1/5

Queer people have existed since the beginning of time and has always been part of Star Wars. For Pride Month, here is our list of Star Wars podcasts, YouTubers, and Twitch streamers with one LGBTQIA+ person. Happy Pride! dorksideoftheforce.com/2023/06/07/u...

in the UK so got the Acolyte Visual Guide early. Unironically great touch of @infinata.bsky.social to make the trans woman the one who helps with the rest of the coven's fashion.

US release tomorrow of Star Wars: The Acolyte: The Visual Guide by @infinata.bsky.social, and thanks to @jessicamumford.bsky.social, I learned that "The Mothers" spread clarifies Aniseya and Koril's relationship status-- we already knew they're a couple, but now we know they're wives!

Happy Pride Month, y'all! Mother Koril from #TheAcolyte and Kantam Sy from #TheHighRepublic kick off this year's Pride Month variants for #StarWarsComics later this week!! Check them out and the others to come: mynockmanor.com/comic-news-2... #PrideMonth

Star Wars: The Mask of Fear by Alexander Freed introduces non-binary point-of-view character Chemish Runazha, who I won't say much about to avoid spoiling their specifics. They're human, Imperial, with "browned skin", "bright-green eyes", "runner's shoulders concealed beneath the gaudy jacket". 1/3

Star Wars: The Acolyte: Wayseeker by @justinaireland.com has a new, incidental non-binary character: "Master Niko Jiro, a slim human with pale skin and a halo of wild, dark curls, was the only other Jedi High Council Member in attendance. They gave Indara a kind smile of encouragement." 1/2

I appreciate this collection of the covers and reflection on them-- and it was first I'd seen of them, when I went searching to find out if we were even getting Pride covers this year. Did I miss something or was there no announcement this year and instead we're learning via June solicits?

Star Wars #2 Pride Variant Cover featuring Sana Starros.

The newest Star Wars: The High Republic book is Into the Light by Claudia Gray, with gorgeous cover art by @coreybrickley.bsky.social (see textless: www.instagram.com/p/DBfMuS9RseH) Several LGBTQIA+ characters reappear but that aspect never comes up in this story and there aren't any new ones.

KB’s moms Maree and Garree on a new Topps card for SKELETON CREW

It's WEDDING SPECTACULAR day for Lula and Zeen in a Star Wars: The High Republic Adventures special, by Daniel José Older @djolder.bsky.social & Harvey Tolibao! This is a big Star Wars first! Other queer couples married off-page/screen in-between stories.🧵

"i love it when star wars is red" blah blah blah. i love it when star wars is QUEER FAMILIES 🥰🥰🥰 #SkeletonCrew

In this week's Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, KB (Kyriana Kratter) has two moms, Marlee (Cass Buggé) and Garree (M.J. Kang) (I gotta rewatch to sort out who's who!) "What worries me is that we lost the signal to KB's life monitor." "Our daughter has very urgent medical needs!" #SkeletonCrewSpoilers

Just a heads up that I haven't forgotten to skeet about new releases. Life Happens! I'll update on comics, scour credits of Skeleton Crew in case, but I'll need friends and others sharing specifics for Outlaws DLC and Tempest Breaker. Feedback wanted: what to use as spoiler tags for mutes?

Ruu (trans man) and Crash Ongwa (sapphic woman) featured on the cover, with Crash's girlfriend Svi'no Atchapat inside, AND written by Alyssa your-favorite-they/them-femme Wong with art by Valeria "Lux" Favoccia (they/them)! (Is this @luxfero.bsky.social's Star Wars debut?)

Kelly Marie Tran: "I haven't said this publicly yet, but I'm a queer person. […] I don't feel like I'm acting at all in this movie. […] I've never been in a queer space before. I've never truly felt this accepted before." 🔗: www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

The Battle of Jakku 5/Republic Under Siege 1 has multiple LGBTQIA+ characters but no content showing they are. Star Wars Queery: will Luke Skywalker ever get to be bi/pan on-page again (or be a-spec!) or will other stories pretend not to see it?

asking people here too: how many folks would be interested in signed copies of my THRA wedding cover? 🙂‍↕️✨

The original wave of Star Wars: Visions introduced various canonically LGBTQ+ characters, plus contributions by real queer people! 🧵 Re "THE TWINS", see bsky.app/profile/star...

Am and Karre from the 2021 Star Wars: Visions short "THE TWINS" are described as twins and clones, dubbed in English by a queer pair: Am is Alison Brie (she/her, bi, came out 2023) and Karre is Neil Patrick Harris (he/him, gay). Not "canonical" LGBTQIA+ but 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ fans noticed and had QUEERIES... 🧵

Welcome to Star Wars Queeries, hoping to carry the torch/baton/thing and do justice to @sskeermadness.bsky.social's Star Wars Queers Watch (QueerSWatch). Star Wars queers are here! I'm intending a mix of history and news, and answering queries about LGBTQIA+ representation in a galaxy far, far away.
