Something I seriously considered stealing from my local IKEA when they wouldn’t take my money (but didn’t).

Four of the five Leias I interviewed years ago for Star Wars Insider at Rebel Scum Con ❤️

If you're excited for this book. Well, you should be! Trust in the Force. And seriously, just trust me!!

My little town feels so strongly about doing fireworks the Sat before the 4th of July they did it last night - despite the 4th hitting on a Sat this year.

I’m apparently in a pirate phase now after finally watching Black Sails (SO GOOD!) Reading about the history of Nassau now. A great summer distraction.

I set up Google Alerts for my name years ago when alt-right weirdos wrote a few articles about my personal tweets (creepy & boring behavior!) when I first started writing Star Wars books. Every time I get one now I’m still 👀 for a moment.

I wrote about my buddy Zeb for the official Star Wars site. If you haven't seen Star Wars Rebels and you liked Zeb in Mando, well, you've got your summer binge watch sorted! www.starwars.com/news/who-is-...

I've recently been reminded that there's nothing better than researching and writing about Star Wars fandom. So much good, so much bad (and honestly kinda scary at times), but the love and creativity is unmatched.

Decluttered my desk (a bit). Decided these two should be friends.

This week I saw Masters of the Universe, Mando & Grogu (2nd time), & Disclosure Day in the theater. 2 trailer takeaways 1) I need a new Spidey trailer ASAP 2) people are really excited to see The Odyssey - the only movie my 18 year-old daughter & 15-year old son BOTH really want to see this summer.

Podracing on Janix! Young Brander Lawson and Rheena! Maul Shadow Lord fans need to be reading the Shadow of Maul comics 👀 (these are from the latest issue #4)

🎉🎉🎉

I work better when I have multiple projects going on at the same time, but after a 2 week vacation I also feel like this right now 😂

After two weeks of amazing travel I'm pretty excited to not be leaving Colorado until early August.

Wanting more people to know about women like Marcia Lucas & their impact on Star Wars was one of my biggest influences in creating the 365 Star Wars Women Project. Sad day.

Did I stop in the middle of a sidewalk to take this picture in Stockholm? Yep! #ThisIsTheWay

I snapped a photo of this Mando/ May 4th display in Copenhagen and love that bedhead Chewie, Kino, and Luthen made a little appearance in it.

I really wish Denmark, Sweden, or Norway dubbed English language films so I could see Mando and Grogu in a different language soon. Years ago I saw Mars Attacks with a German dub (no subtitles - oops on me) and it was FANTASTIC!

My first byline with Marvel dot com! Mastering the Art of Comics by @alexsegura.com looks amazing. I saw quite a few interior pages and can't wait to read the whole thing. www.marvel.com/articles/cul...

I enjoyed the hell out of The Mandalorian and Grogu and loved sitting next to a family where the Dad was in a full Mando costume and the little girl sitting next to me had big reactions about Grogu & the dragonsnake.

Summer break has officially started in the Richau household! 🎉

🎵 where have alllllll my readings glasses gone 🎵

This little dude at the pet store has HAD IT and I wish I could take him on vacation with me.

Having very uncharitable thoughts about whoever called in fake threats to several local high schools - on their first day of finals.

Pretty cool to see something I worked on front and center on the official site a few days before a new Star Wars film hits theaters. Excited to see it Thursday night!!

Star Wars fans help me out. I want to transfer at least the basics of the info from my 365 Star Wars Women project into something offline that would also be freely accessible (from my website). Is that a PDF, a fanzine, something else? Eventually I'm not going to want to pay to keep the 365 site up.

Tell me I’m not the only one who regularly uses the freebie Star Wars Celebration Anaheim bags.

Pre-summer vacation checklist: Refill medications Attend grad parties Finish that article See the baby and his daddy at the movie theater at least once before getting on the plane

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

My son won Most Improved Player at the Ultimate Frisbee dinner last night, my daughter, just home from college, strolled in at 1:30am - we’re almost at summer & an epic trip to Scandinavia!

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...

In a moment of weakness I told my family I would cosplay as Mon Mothma in Rogue One at Rebel Scum Con. So if anyone has a line on a 3D print, etc. for her medallions in this get up ... give me a shout. (or any of it really, haven't seen anything very good online yet)

Me, seeing the rumor that the Broncos will host the Bills on Christmas Day ...

I came away from my son's weekend Ultimate Frisbee tournament with one very sunburned ear. The dangers of being a spectator!

Apparently I couldn’t wait until Celebration to surround myself with Star Wars fans.

"Can I interview the Kiners? Can I interview the Kiners? Can I interview the Kiners?" Is perhaps something that I asked repeatedly until it happened. It was amazing to chat with them about Maul – Shadow Lord! www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

Fine, we're in a severe drought, but STILLLLLLLLL!

#MayTheFourth be with you! Gonna re-share Hunted from Squadrons, because it's still one of my favourite #StarWars things and helping out on it was an amazing experience. Incredible work by writer / director Neel Upadhye, and by ILM who made it something special 💙 www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2Vm...

AFTER you've watched episodes 9 & 10 of Maul – Shadow Lord read all about Devon's journey from Gideon Adlon. She did such an amazing job with one of my favorite new Star Wars characters. www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

It was 4:30am but I’ve now seen them! Happy May the 4th everyone!!

I am very excited for some Maul – Shadow Lord articles I worked on coming to Star Wars dot com soon! I'm spoiled but I haven't seen the last two episodes - going to use my ability to wake up at 3am every night to my advantage to fix that soon. Don't be a jerk and spoil other people!

It's basically all Star Wars Celebration all the time for my brain until next April. www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

Best post I'll see this week ...

Last issue of Insider just came in the mail 😭

About a month from now my Scandinavian adventure (with a touch of Iceland fun) will begin! Or my flights will get cancelled because of fuel shortages and I will be very sad (or broke if I rebuy flights for 4). But I'm hoping for the first part!!

I almost put the stamp on the wrong side of the envelope and now I can't find my checkbook. Why are you so old-school summer Ultimate Frisbee league?????

I turn 53 a week from today. Still unsure of plans except I know I’m going to absolutely wreck this Vader piñata that was part of a Star Wars lot I bought from FB marketplace recently.

This happening the first time I’m missing this event in who knows how many years is not cool 😭 gotta find a replacement geek event in 2026!

Me with technology today ... (also, I miss football)

Someone with red curly hair just pointed out to me this was three years ago today - no wonder I have Celebration feels!
