Incredibly sad to see that Star Wars Insider will end next year. Still, I’m so grateful to have written for Insider and to have worked with editor Christopher Cooper for the last two and a half years. It’s truly been a life-changing experience. Also, I have one more story coming in issue 236!

Got a bit vulnerable in my newsletter, but it feels good to share my struggles and the weird balance of personal grief and professional achievements. Yes, I tied it all back to Star Wars books and The High Republic. Shoutout to @thisdadreads.bsky.social for the beautiful poster! tinyurl.com/ysuyd8ax

Popping in to say how cool it would be if we got a “Propaganda”- or “The Rebel Files”-style book about the HoloNet News and all the amazing journalists in Star Wars. I know someone who would love to write it 🙃

All of The High Republic is right here on my shelves. Less than a week until Trials of the Jedi and I cannot wait to scream about this book, this entire series, with everyone. Star Wars books, y’all.

Trials of the Jedi is something rare and special. It's fierce hope and light amid unwavering darkness. It's the belief in a better world, a brighter galaxy, no matter how unshakeable the darkness feels.

I finished my ARC of Trials of the Jedi on Friday, and I’ve been a puddle of feelings all weekend. What a beautiful, special book that made me want to turn back to page 1 and read it all over again. More thoughts coming on June 3 and on release day, June 17.

Lots to love and cry over in tonight’s episode of The Last of Us. But as a space nerd writing a book about space and rocket history, these scenes got me.
FYI: The real Apollo 15 capsule is at the National Museum of the Air Force in Ohio. The countdown Ellie listened to was the Apollo 11 launch.
