A very fun article today on Star Wars Dot Com: my visit to set of THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU! www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

Believe in your dreams. @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social

I’m so glad that I met Marcia Lucas 3 years ago. She was very kind to me & @actuallybrandon.bsky.social when we asked for a photo with her. There need to be more books written about her influence on the original trilogy films & Skywalker Ranch. Rest in peace

Last time picking up INSIDER off the newsstand :/

49 years ago, my favorite movie premiered at the @chinesetheatres.bsky.social . Yesterday, I got to watch the premiere of its new installment in that same theatre. Thanks so much to @lucasfilm.bsky.social for the invite, and thanks to @ilmvfx.bsky.social and Skywalker Sound for making actual magic.

I teamed up with @actuallybrandon.bsky.social for a new article about everything we know about Din Djarin & Grogu (that cutie) so far. www.starwars.com/news/the-man...

The final issue of STAR WARS INSIDER (#237) has hit newsstands. At the time of its ending, I had written 34 pieces (totaling nearly 250 published pages of BTS stories)! My enormous thanks to Chris Cooper, my editor. My final - and most insane - piece is in this last issue. Long live Insider!

Hey, I know that guy from somewhere! @actuallybrandon.bsky.social

If you’ve been enjoying #MaulShadowLord as much as I have, a lot of it has to do with the incredible work by @davidwcollins.bsky.social of Skywalker Sound. He’s been part of the tapestry of Star Wars for decades, and I am thrilled to spotlight his incredible talent! www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

Earlier this year, I joined my cousin on Pop Culture Jeopardy! It was a bit of a dream come true to buzz in on the Alex Trebek Stage - and to meet Scarlett Johansson’s husband. Cheer on team Trivial Texans on 5/26, streaming on Netflix! #PopCultureJeopardy @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social

welp

Pleased to announce that my book, the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF STARFIGHTERS AND OTHER VEHICLES, has won a major award: “Boba Fet Recommends” at my cousin’s school library. I am truly honored.

It’s been 5 years since I had my first words published in an official Star Wars anything … it could have stopped right there and I would have been the happiest dude in the galaxy. But it didn’t, and I am still so grateful.

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

‘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...

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.
