Hello There, Join us for THE PHANTOM MAY-NACE: Our all-day celebration of all things STAR WARS. Festivities will include a costume contest, trivia for prizes (hosted by @actuallybrandon.bsky.social), special food and drink options and more! More info + RSVP: www.eventbrite.com/e/bookpeople...

Last week, I was invited to Los Angeles by Lucasfilm to go behind-the-scenes of the upcoming THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU. I’ve been very lucky and done a lot of very cool things. This might be the luckiest and the coolest. Thank you, STAR WARS. For everything.

In addition to new slip art by Colin Murdoch, our Blu-ray includes a commentary featuring director Mathieu Fournier, producer Pierre-Mathieu Fortin, and Raza, plus a second commentary with @patrickcotnoir.bsky.social of The George Lucas Talk Show and Star Wars Insider‘s @actuallybrandon.bsky.social

My first piece for the wizards at ILM! What an honor. www.ilm.com/wicked-for-g...

NEW EPISODE✍🏼✨✈️ When you've interviewed every Star Wars creative, what is left? Well you write a couple of Star Wars Encyclopedias of course! @actuallybrandon.bsky.social from @talkingbay94.bsky.social joins us to talk about his journey as a SW author! 🎧👉 apple.co/4loh557 📺👉 bit.ly/BWainerdiSWE

‘I have never wanted to suggest that my wartime experiences were any more important or heroic than any other pilot. But so many of them are gone now and I am still here. Their words deserve to be heard’ - Wedge Antilles 'Star Wars: Star Pilots' Oct 2026 (DK) geni.us/StarWarsStar...

Naboo TV lawyer ad: "Crash Der Boss's Heyblibber? Boom da Gasser?"

Started the new year with a new (still part-time) role within Disney—Senior Contributor for StarWars.com (and more 🤞). Thanks to fearless EIC @kristinbaver.bsky.social for all her help and guidance! It’s been a dream writing for the official site.

BUH WEET

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

Won’t be able to lend out this copy of HOUSE OF LEAVES now. @markzdanielewski.bsky.social

Ominous way to phrase this

I’m insane :( and bought the same type of vintage towel that they used for the original Boba Fett screen test and then got Duwayne Dunham (the man in the suit) to sign it :(

Fantasy author and RPG writer Jean Rabe has passed away. She was known for her work at TSR and the RPGA, but she also worked on WEG’s Star Wars d6 RPG. In Galaxy Guide 12, Rabe wrote up several alien species including cover model Ephant Mon’s Chevin (with other aliens by @infinata.bsky.social).

Japanese Fango just hit different

Always a thrill to be back in @fangoria.bsky.social, this time for issue #30! I interviewed Christophe Gans, director of both the 2006 and 2026 SILENT HILL movies. @cineverse-ent.bsky.social Thanks to @philnobilejr.bsky.social for the shout, and @jasonkauz.bsky.social for crushing the layout!

It's 2026 now and I'm still looking for work! I'm open to freelance, part, or full time work in: - writing - journalism - PR - communications - community management - marketing I have 12 years of experience as a freelance writer and journalist across all of the above mentioned spheres!

If you’re looking for a horror movie to watch at home this weekend … may I suggest BEAST OF WAR? @fangoria.bsky.social

I shall call it ‘dogshit,’ then.

A pretty crazy and productive 2025 at FANGORIA. Here is everything I worked on that got printed. We have a great team and it’s been a joy to work with everyone at Fango. Pretty wild stuff and excited for what new projects I get to work on in 2026.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)

Do Not @ Me I Do Not Care

It’s not much, but it’s decent.

"You there, boy! [slurpy inhale sound] What day is it?"

SEE YOU JANUARY 8. This trailer gives a very small taste of what’s coming… probably the end of my career lol

Big year for dogs named Indy everywhere. (And big thanks to @horrorgirlprobs.bsky.social for having me on this year’s list!)

Neal, JJ, and Nien, all in awe of Ackbar and his moist charisma 💦

The Force Awakens is 10! Another great piece from Brandon:

Ten years ago, I graduated from grad school and then immediately (and nervously) went to the midnight premiere of THE FORCE AWAKENS. Today, my latest piece for STAR WARS Dot Con is an interview with creature guru Neal Scanlan to celebrate the film’s anniversary! www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

This week marks the 10th release anniversary of The Force Awakens! @actuallybrandon.bsky.social has a great post up at StarWars(dot)com, including a nice celebration of the film's stop-motion magic!

Pong Krell would be a YouTuber.

In celebration of the 10th anniversary of THE FORCE AWAKENS, my latest piece on STAR WARS DOT COM details some of my favorite behind-the-scenes tidbits from the making of—what I consider to be—a “miracle movie.” www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

Today’s STAR WARS INSIDER #235 features my interview with Ryan Kiera Armstrong, of SKELETON CREW, THE LOWDOWN (which rocks, btw) … and soon-to-be vampire slayer.

In this house, we always support the local library.

Bless my wife for coming with me on her NYC birthday trip to visit millennial comedy history: the stoop of the apartment building where Andy and Akiva lived during their early days at SNL. #QuaidArmy

If Benoit Blanc is such a great detective, why hasn’t he noticed these are all the same guy

My latest article is all about Skeleton Crew! I interviewed an amazing group of ILM artists about their use of real-time visual effects in the series. www.ilm.com/star-wars-sk...

Thanks to everyone who reached out about signed copies of books! Means the world (and is super humbling haha). I have a few extra and can sign ‘em and ship ‘em this week, if there’s any interest! $30 for STARFIGHTERS shipped CONUS, $40 for ENCYCLOPEDIA. Just DM.

Oh wow! The Trypanohyncha Ocellus float from Noah Hawley's ALIEN: EARTH made a surprise appearance at the #MacysDayParade!

Exciting way to go into the holidays: I received a copy of my first ever “official“ Tolkien-adjacent work … I worked with MUTANT to edit the enormous booklet accompanying their incredible phyiscal release of THE RINGS OF POWER Season 2 soundtrack. Gorgeous work, as always, and a real honor.

Very thankful to everyone who showed up for last weekend’s book signing! Was a real thrill to meet STAR WARS fans, and see so many friends.

IT: WELCOME TO DERRY would've been better if it were called IT: HOOTIN' & HALLORANN

We are excited to work with the Atlanta Community Food Bank to help raise funds and provide meals to those in need. Over the next 2 weeks our goal is to raise $5,000 - Scan the QR code or check the link to donate and help folks out for the holidays! give.acfb.org/StarWarsExpl...

When I was, like, six years old I had my birthday party at Barnes & Noble — so this is really special! If you live in Austin, TX, come hang out at B&N with me next weekend, and talk about your favorite Star Wars starfighter. @dkbooks.bsky.social RSVP here: www.ticketleap.events/tickets/barn...

Look I know we all wish A&M wouldn't win a championship. But last time A&M won, we beat the Nazis. Now we need to beat the Nazis again, so it's time for A&M to win again.
