Incredibly sad to see that Star Wars Insider will end next year. Still, I’m so grateful to have written for Insider and to have worked with editor Christopher Cooper for the last two and a half years. It’s truly been a life-changing experience. Also, I have one more story coming in issue 236!

Got a bit vulnerable in my newsletter, but it feels good to share my struggles and the weird balance of personal grief and professional achievements. Yes, I tied it all back to Star Wars books and The High Republic. Shoutout to @thisdadreads.bsky.social for the beautiful poster! tinyurl.com/ysuyd8ax

Popping in to say how cool it would be if we got a “Propaganda”- or “The Rebel Files”-style book about the HoloNet News and all the amazing journalists in Star Wars. I know someone who would love to write it 🙃
(Can you tell I’m getting distracted while researching and writing?)

All of The High Republic is right here on my shelves. Less than a week until Trials of the Jedi and I cannot wait to scream about this book, this entire series, with everyone. Star Wars books, y’all.

Trials of the Jedi is something rare and special. It's fierce hope and light amid unwavering darkness. It's the belief in a better world, a brighter galaxy, no matter how unshakeable the darkness feels.

I finished my ARC of Trials of the Jedi on Friday, and I’ve been a puddle of feelings all weekend. What a beautiful, special book that made me want to turn back to page 1 and read it all over again. More thoughts coming on June 3 and on release day, June 17.

Lots to love and cry over in tonight’s episode of The Last of Us. But as a space nerd writing a book about space and rocket history, these scenes got me.
FYI: The real Apollo 15 capsule is at the National Museum of the Air Force in Ohio. The countdown Ellie listened to was the Apollo 11 launch.

Oh, this cover art for Star Wars: The Last Order is PRETTY. I'm so excited to finally get a story set after The Rise of Skywalker - and it stars Finn and Jannah!

Rewatching Rogue One after Andor season 2 absolutely hits harder now. But seeing Jedha destroyed, and hearing Krennic say “the last reminder of the Jedi - gone,” after reading The High Republic…it wrecked me.

I can’t believe the ARC of the final book of The High Republic is on my Kindle. If I don’t read it then it’s never over right? (I’m obviously going to start reading ASAP)
@charlessoule.bsky.social thank you and also sorry for all the screaming to come

Re: Andor s2 ep9: I want to know more about the HoloNet News and the Senate press corps. I want to read about the news media and journalists in Star Wars. I want to follow reporters covering the Clone Wars, Ghorman, investigating the Empire’s secret super weapon. Manifesting maybe me writing them? 🤞🏻

After this week’s episodes of Andor, I am again seriously considering writing a book or class to teach real world history via recent Star Wars TV and novels. There’s plenty of unpack in season 2 and books like Reign of the Empire: The Mask of Fear.
I remain so inspired by @chriskempshall’s books⬇️

Happy release day to The Acolyte: Wayseeker by Justina Ireland! It changed my mind (for the better) about Vernestra Rwoh. I adored Indara and want to be her when I grow up. Don't worry, Wayseeker DOES NOT spoil the end of The High Republic.
