STAR WARS: PATH OF THE LIGHTSABER from @kennyruiz.bsky.social and @viz.com is an original manga set during the sequel trilogy that's fully connected to the Skywalker saga. It has heart and humor, it's action-packed and tense, and it's scary and hopeful. It's also great fun. I hope readers enjoy it!

I thought this was such a clever twist on "stuffed animal in Star Wars" that didn't just involve the kid having a toy version of some in-universe creature
This is BILY from season 3 of " Star Wars: Visions ". BILY is a giant, teddy bear, nanny droid from an episode called " Yuko's Treasure ". BILY stands for " Baby I Love You "... which makes sense if you watch the episode I suppose. Foof’ll be fine, but yes, that is a microwave in BILY's chest.
