Even from the very beginning, I was obsessed with Darth Maul. To see what he’s become in the lore of Star Wars is proof that Dave Filoni and the creative team truly know what they’re doing.

Hot take: The High Republic is the best-written Star Wars in decades.
The Jedi feel real. The villains haunt you. The galaxy feels alive again.
If you’re not reading it, you’re missing peak Star Wars.

@markhamillofficial.bsky.social apprectiation post! The way the Hamill plays Luke doesn’t get the accolades it deserves for its nuance, relatability, and ability to bring the audience into the galaxy. Words could never fully encapsulate what he pulled off playing Luke Skywalker.

The way A New Hope, and the original trilogy overall, is set up is so that Han is who we want to be, but Luke is who we are. Great part is that they need each other as much as we need community to thrive.
