Best bits of the new Superman film:

3 - Teddybears – Punkrocker (feat. Iggy Pop)
2 - David Corenswet — to be fair, he did a good job
1 - Krypto. Easily the funniest character.

Speaking of books — have you read Skywalker: A Family at War by Kristin Baver (@kristinbaver.bsky.social)?

It chronicles the Skywalker family across the saga.

As an Anakin fan, I love how it captures his fall to the dark side, his marriage to Padmé, and his final redemption.

What’s your fave Star Wars book — fiction or non-fiction?

Mine’s The Magic of Myth by Mary Henderson.

it dives deep into the saga’s mythological roots — the hero’s journey, redemption, prophecy — paired with stunning Ralph McQuarrie artwork and visuals from world mythology.

Have you read it?

🔥 “I hate you.”

Twenty years on, Revenge of the Sith still delivers one of the most devastating moments in Star Wars history.

In my latest feature for Rebel Briefing, I explore how Anakin was baptised in fire — banished, broken, and reborn as Darth Vader.

Can’t get enough of Andor? Same. I’m obsessed with the show & Star Wars art books — so hyped for The Art of Star Wars: Andor dropping March 2026!

By @philszostak.bsky.social, with epic behind-the-scenes art from Series 1 & 2. Must-have for fans of artwork.

Why Star Wars Storytelling Works — Beyond the Hero’s Journey, Myth, and Legacy.

1/
We all know Star Wars follows the hero’s journey — but what if I told you George Lucas’s process was messier and more experimental than the neat Campbell framework suggests? Let’s unpack that. 👇

“So this is how liberty dies…”

Palpatine’s rise in Star Wars wasn’t just dramatic—it’s a chilling look at how power consolidates and democracies fall. Rebel Briefing digs into the politics of the prequels in our latest article.
