premiere day to all who are celebrating! My heart is full.
The force is strong with EW & Ewan McGregor! For our final print cover before going all-digital, we’re all in on
#ObiWanKenobi
, revealing first look episodic images of McGregor as Kenobi, Joel Edgerton as Uncle Owen, and a fearsome new

villain.

Very cool way to celebrate

#StarWars
is filled with boss heroes and leaders who just happen to also be amazing women.

Two years ago today, this very day, I walked into Lucasfilm for the first time to start my new job with the online team. My face says “Can you believe THIS?!?” Sometimes, I still can’t wrap my head around it. Happy anniversary to a place I love more than I could possibly imagine.
Not only have we confirmed that Fennec Shand is coming to
#StarWars
The Bad Batch, but now *I* can confirm that
@MingNa
Wen is a lovely person (and I'm not just saying that because we're both from Pennsylvania.)
Remember how the Jedi peacekeepers joined in the brutality of the war instead of deescalating the conflict and it gave rise to the Empire but also birthed the Rebellion?
Hello…what have we here?
#starwars
I’m beyond pleased to announce my first contribution to the storied Art of book series with
@ABRAMSbooks
coming soon! I’m so excited for you all to read the story of how the
#highrepublic
initiative came together.
It’s so hard not to shout about
#BookofBobafett
immediately every Wednesday, but as I wait out my self-imposed spoiler-free time, please enjoy this GIF of Boba Fett, driver’s ed instructor.
Holding my first book for the first time. No makeup, no hair routine, no ring light, no script. Just a moment of pure joy captured by
@heyyydrea
, and a feeling of accomplishment. Still one of the most beautiful covers I have ever seen by
@Cakes_Comics
.
If
#LightAndMagic
proves anything, it’s that talent without ego and the openness to share techniques and try and fail together is what ultimately gets us to the point of breaking new ground and succeeding beyond our wildest dreams.
It was a joy to sit down with
@kateesackhoff
last week to talk about her debut on
#themandalorian
as Bo-Katan Kryze. Katee is warm, humble, hilarious, and I am so pleased to see her continue on as an important part of the
#StarWars
family.
Happy
#StarWarsDay
! We all know Mark Hamill is a delight as he recounts stories at Celebration and he’s a master of voice acting. I had the great fortune to interview him recently and was treated to amazing stories, impressions, AND SINGING!
Just your friendly weekly reminder that people who spoil
#thebookofbobafett
for others will be getting a personal visit from

Capping off a new High Republic Show day with this beauty. My author copies for The Art of Star Wars: The High Republic are here and the book is simply even more beautiful than I could have expected!
Last night I continued my tradition of going to visit my book (The Art of
#StarWars
: The High Republic) in the wild on release day, and let me tell you it’s one of my favorite parts of the writing process. If you’ve ever wanted to go to a bookshop with me, here’s what it’s like…
Have you seen this Jedi?
The search for Burryaga is on. The fate of the High Republic Wookiee Padawan is revealed during The High Republic Show July 5, only on the Star Wars YouTube channel.

I have trouble answering this question myself so I am curious — If you had to choose, who is your all-time favorite
#StarWars
character? As much as I love Ackbar and Rey and Han and Leia and C-3PO and Chewie, I would pick...Yoda.

Why did George Lucas sell Lucasfilm in 2012? He tells me why in this extract from my new book The

Archives Eps I-III. My unboxing video here:
One year: A few days after we started working from home last March the city shut down. Everything ground to a halt, yet somehow a lot has happened since then.
I interviewed George Lucas and wrote my first book about the family of space wizards that he brought to life.
“This is what it is to be a woman in a society that has taught its daughters that we are worthy of love only if we are deemed attractive by its sons.” Powerful words from an amazing actor. Nothing but

So proud of the whole Lucasfilm Online team for spending the last two months on our awesome weekly coverage of
#theacolyte
! I’m going to miss talking about this show every week.
Moments later a lovely young man asked me “are you the Star Wars lady?” and I am now answering to that FYI because it’s a wonderful feeling to be associated with something I love so dearly. To be fair, all three of us are the Star Wars ladies. And we are all the Republic!
After a wonderful and action-packed few days leading to
#starwarsday
, it’s Revenge of the Fifth! Who’s your favorite

villain?
My vote is for Tarkin. He’s back for

and he’s...
