Star Wars Queeries @starwarsqueeries.bsky.social · Nov 20
Welcome to Star Wars Queeries, hoping to carry the torch/baton/thing and do justice to @sskeermadness.bsky.social's Star Wars Queers Watch (QueerSWatch). Star Wars queers are here! I'm intending a mix of history and news, and answering queries about LGBTQIA+ representation in a galaxy far, far away.

Hello, everyone! Long time no post because this year, I've been preoccupied with what's happening in queer reality, and there's also been a steep decline in Star Wars queers. I haven't gotten the latest books yet to see if they add any, but even if they do, we've gone back to pre-2019 levels.

"Star Wars: The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown" by Tessa Gratton @tessagratton.bsky.social has a Star Wars first: a nonbinary/nonbinary romance between Lionine "Lio" Graf (they/them) and Rhos Arthyst (he/him, she/her). Another NB character is Rap Arcon (they/them). GET THIS BOOK NOW. 1/5
Cover art by J.D. Paulsen (credited as Julian Paulsen) for "Star Wars: The Acolyte: The Crystal Crown". The artwork depicts Jecki Lon with her green-bladed lightsaber and Yord Fandar with his yellow-bladed lightsaber. The characters described in this thread are not in this image.

Queer people have existed since the beginning of time and has always been part of Star Wars. For Pride Month, here is our list of Star Wars podcasts, YouTubers, and Twitch streamers with one LGBTQIA+ person. Happy Pride!

in the UK so got the Acolyte Visual Guide early. Unironically great touch of @infinata.bsky.social to make the trans woman the one who helps with the rest of the coven's fashion.
from the Acolyte Visual Guide's entry on Ensign Eurus (played by Abigail Thorn): "To assist the gestural channelling of the Thread, Ensign Eurus is the coven's ornamentalist, creating fobs, jewellery and other talismans. A trusted advisor to Aniseya, she respect's her leader's wisdom, although disagrees with allowing the Jedi's scrutiny." Labelled on Eurus' picture are "Segmented plastron necklace" and "reinforcing welt cord"

US release tomorrow of Star Wars: The Acolyte: The Visual Guide by @infinata.bsky.social, and thanks to @jessicamumford.bsky.social, I learned that "The Mothers" spread clarifies Aniseya and Koril's relationship status-- we already knew they're a couple, but now we know they're wives!

Star Wars: The Mask of Fear by Alexander Freed introduces non-binary point-of-view character Chemish Runazha, who I won't say much about to avoid spoiling their specifics. They're human, Imperial, with "browned skin", "bright-green eyes", "runner's shoulders concealed beneath the gaudy jacket". 1/3
Cover of "Star Wars: The Mask of Fear", artwork by Marko Manev, written by Alexander Freed and the first of book of "Reign of the Empire". Mon Mothma is a tiny figure in white, lit from above by a spotlight, and surrounded by the nearly-black chamber of the Galactic Senate.

Star Wars: The Acolyte: Wayseeker by @justinaireland.com has a new, incidental non-binary character:
"Master Niko Jiro, a slim human with pale skin and a halo of wild, dark curls, was the only other Jedi High Council Member in attendance. They gave Indara a kind smile of encouragement." 1/2
The cover of the book "Star Wars: The Acolyte: Wayseeker" written by Justina Ireland; the artwork is by Tomasz Majewski. Two Jedi with the likenesses of the actresses who portrayed them in the TV series The Acolyte: Vernestra Rwoh (Rebecca Henderson but bald and green) poses with her purple lightsaber in front of Indara (a younger Carrie-Anne Moss) with a green lightsaber.

I appreciate this collection of the covers and reflection on them-- and it was first I'd seen of them, when I went searching to find out if we were even getting Pride covers this year. Did I miss something or was there no announcement this year and instead we're learning via June solicits?

The newest Star Wars: The High Republic book is Into the Light by Claudia Gray, with gorgeous cover art by @coreybrickley.bsky.social (see textless: www.instagram.com/p/DBfMuS9RseH)

Several LGBTQIA+ characters reappear but that aspect never comes up in this story and there aren't any new ones.
Art by Corey Brickley (@coreybrickley.bsky.social) A young, brown-haired man-- probably Jedi Knight Reath Silas-- is wearing a gold-accented cloak and tunic, white pants, and brown boots. He's in the middle of thick, vine-covered roots and there's some kind of scattered technological debris. He holds his ignited green lightsaber in both hands as he looks warily at his surroundings, which are lit up green by his lightsaber where they aren't lighted by sunlight breaking through.

In this week's Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, KB (Kyriana Kratter) has two moms, Marlee (Cass Buggé) and Garree (M.J. Kang) (I gotta rewatch to sort out who's who!)

"What worries me is that we lost the signal to KB's life monitor."
"Our daughter has very urgent medical needs!"

Just a heads up that I haven't forgotten to skeet about new releases. Life Happens! I'll update on comics, scour credits of Skeleton Crew in case, but I'll need friends and others sharing specifics for Outlaws DLC and Tempest Breaker.

Feedback wanted: what to use as spoiler tags for mutes?

Kelly Marie Tran: "I haven't said this publicly yet, but I'm a queer person. […] I don't feel like I'm acting at all in this movie. […] I've never been in a queer space before. I've never truly felt this accepted before."

Vanity Fair piece: The clock hasn't even struck noon, for instance, when an emotional Kelly Marie Tran decides to share a personal detail on the record for the first time. "I haven't said this publicly yet, but I'm a queer person," she tells me. "The thing that really excited me about it was I got to play a person that I felt like I knew. I don't feel like I'm acting at all in this movie.... I'm here doing this amazing movie with these amazing people. I've never been in a queer space before. I've never truly felt this accepted before."

The Battle of Jakku 5/Republic Under Siege 1 has multiple LGBTQIA+ characters but no content showing they are.

Star Wars Queery: will Luke Skywalker ever get to be bi/pan on-page again (or be a-spec!) or will other stories pretend not to see it?
A woman (Rynn Zenat) with a bandaged cheek aims a blaster pistol at a frowning redhead and says, "I don't take kindly to that. It makes me MAD." Luke Skywalker, styled as in Return of the Jedi, is to the left with a determined expression. From the confusingly-named-and-numbered "Star Wars: The Battle of Jakku (5 of 12): Republic Under Siege (1 of 4)", artist Stefano Raffaele and color artist Alex Sinclair.
