Decided to join Bluesky and jump ship from the other place, so hi! I'm Ben and love Star Wars, especially:
-The High Republic
-Andor
-The Original Trilogy
-All the books
-All the games
But really just about anything Star Wars and I'm in.

I finished Trials of the Jedi, and have a lot of thoughts that need time to settle.
But there is one thought that is very easy to state:
I am glad that we got #TheHighRepublic.

Snubbed in the acting categories because some of the performances in this show are literally incredible. Like Genevieve O'Reilly not getting at least a nomination is INSANE
ANDOR has been nominated for Outstanding Drama Series at the Emmys!🏆#Emmys
Congratulations Diego Luna, Tony Gilroy, and the entire Star Wars team!

It's the first Beaumont Kin Day!
A year ago today 'Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire' was published in the UK (and on the 7th in the US) and readers got the chance to discover just how important Beaumont was to the book he had 'written'.
It was a secret we'd carefully guarded.

Just finished Trials of the Jedi! I really like it, although a did have a few minor problems with it, but overall it's still easily a 4/5 for me. Here's my review (some minor spoilers):

ITS HERE and it is so beautiful and I literally cannot wait to read it! To think that it has been five years since Light of the Jedi kicked off THR and now we're here at the end (or the end of the beginning) after so many amazing stories!

Trials of the Jedi on its way! I don't know whether to be scared or excited, but the one thing I do know is that I cannot believe how lucky we've been as fans to get such an amazing series so far

Just finished Into the Light and I enjoyed it way more than I thought it would! I'd seen quite a lot of people on here not really liking it and not totally sure I understand why

He is one of my favorites. He's amazing in phase I, phase III... Well, he's fine, I think.
Anyway, I like his first hairstyle more.

Drew some of the Ya cast of the book to celebrate #TrialsOfTheJedi releasing today! These books have been indescribably important to me since day one. I can’t believe the end is finally here, what an incredible ride it’s been :]

Happy release day to Trials of the Jedi!!!
I loved doing fan art throughout the Phase 1 and 2 releases and although I spent most of Phase 3 doing official art, I couldn’t let it come to an end without doing one last illustration.

Not that this needs to be said, but yeah — masterful. Absolutely stellar. Outside of a couple personal bumps here and there, and some “reality of the format” things, #Andor S2 was an incredible feat of storytelling & filmmaking. A righteous epic poem. Beautiful, thoughtful, and deliciously complex.

Diego Luna and Genevieve O’Reilly delivered the greatest performances of their careers in these episodes. They’re both operating on another level.
