I'm genuinely hyperventilating over this. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined these conversations to have happened and (most importantly) Adam Driver to actually be on board and even enthusiastic. Fuck Disney for nixing this.
Adam Driver on Jarmusch, 'Star Wars' and putting filmmakers first
In an interview with The Associated Press, Adam Driver says he developed a Kylo Ren “Star Wars” movie that would have been directed by Steven Soderbergh.

Attack of the Clones was released on DVD 23 years ago today so that makes today the very important holiday of Yoda Da Man Day. Please celebrate accordingly.

This Han-Ben interaction is great and clarifies an aspect of TFA that many viewers misunderstood - Kylo didn't kill Han because he hated him, but because he loved him. He desperately wanted to believe that he'd find peace and strength by destroying what he loved. Instead, that choice haunted him.

I coloured it.

Rey's going to find Ben Solo and kick the ass of whoever killed him.

I finally got an idea to draw after all this time and it worked out lol

I enjoyed del Toro's FRANKENSTEIN while also feeling frustrated by many of its choices. It suffers badly from bloat and self-indulgence, loudly proclaiming its own themes and eradicating much of the novel's moral complexity. Isaac goes full camp and is very fun; Elordi is heartbreaking.

This is both funny and deeply cutting. There's some level of tragic predestination in the boy who couldn't be bothered to learn history growing up to become the leader of a fascist regime drunk on nostalgia for the Empire.

The part of Mamdani's speech that I found most exciting was "you dismantle the conditions that allowed him to gain power. That's how we stop Trump — and the next one."

We need popular political figures to point out that Trump is not an anomaly and there are plenty more to take his place.

I love this for NYC and the US in general! More left-wing leaders with true vision, please.
Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani, NYC’s new mayor.

this guy has my favourite wookiepedia article of all time

I find it hilarious that this guy appeared in Rogue One for like 30 seconds and now has a whole EU built up around his weird af machinations. Like wtf do you mean he's a head in a bowl tormenting Kylo Ren.

The best thing about Charles Soule tweeting about writing Kylo Ren as "happy" is that I win either way. Since I view the comics as harmless fanfiction to be overridden given the slightest need, I'll enjoy Kylo a) having Rey-related butterflies or b) being comically OOC and enjoying dinner w/ Tava.

Empire Cooked!!

"Reylos want Ben Solo to return; sequel haters want Ben Solo to return; casual Star Wars fans want Ben Solo to return.Hell, / want Ben Solo to return. Maybe Disney will see there's something in it.
Say it all together: "No-one's ever really gone."

#TheHuntForBenSolo
The reaction to The Hunt For Ben Solo is the start of the Star Wars sequels revival
Fans clamouring for Adam Driver's redeemed Kylo Ren to return signals a generational Star Wars turn. Read more at Empire.

My dad collects and catalogues old radio recordings and recently found this fascinating radio ad promoting the original Star Wars to British audiences back in 1977. It's super interesting to experience how Star Wars was promoted when it was brand new. @blastpoints.bsky.social @wtforce.bsky.social

All Right Reylos,

With the event starting in just under a week, we wanted to share out the guidelines we've put together for the November Flash Fiction Challenge:

I went to the Labyrinth Experience convention in High Wycombe today and it was such a lovely way to celebrate one of my favourite films! The creativity on display was so inspiring, and it was especially cool to meet a bunch of the puppeteers (Louise Gold was a truly excellent sport!).

The best part of all this news is that LF absolutely considers Ben alive.
The stranger was the first knight of ren?
This person on Twitter meticulously wrote out all the stranger text available for the future available ART of Book.

Lucasfilm has been working on this for so long. This and the WBW from Ahsoka.. Lucasfilm wants Ben solo back.

At this point, the best thing that could happen for the campaign to save The Hunt for Ben Solo would be for Jenny Nicholson to put together a numbered list on all the ways it would fix Star Wars.

Does anyone know what the most active Reylo discord is? Is it the Reylo Mixer (and if so can I have an invite please!)?

Nabil Shaban was far more than just a Doctor Who monster. As co-founder of Graeae, he was a brilliant ambassador for change in theatre. The stuff he was saying in the 1970s and 1980s about access to the arts still rings true today. Rest in peace, fella.

we exceeded our goal within an hour of the fundraiser opening. I am in tears😭
