P.S And is there any chance that weโ€™ll find out the correct spellings of the new charactersโ€™ names from this story anytime soon?

Hi Cavan! Iโ€™m listening to The Jaws of Jakku audiobook right now, and thereโ€™s something I canโ€™t figure out. Either my ears are playing tricks on me, or in a few places the droid RJ-21 is called RJX. Is that a mistake? English isnโ€™t my native language, so I might be misunderstanding something.

Hi, @georgemann.bsky.social! Finished Haunted Starlight just seconds ago and want to say that I really like it! Thank you for this story! Any chance that there would be "Part III" audiobook? Cause the cliffhanger in the epilogue just drive me crazy and I want more!

#Starwars #Skeletoncrew was really good. So sad that
it has even fewer views than Acolyte, and we're unlikely to see a second season.

The actor behind the voice the supervisor in today's episode is the main WOW moment that blew my mind. Welcome to a galaxy far, far away, sir!

Well, now my daughter has an official document allowing her to travel outside Russia.
So, #StarWarsCelebration Japan 2025, wait for this youngling and her outstanding cheeks!

I hope to participate in the localization of this book into Russian someday. Unfortunately, a lot of thoughts in it are incredibly relevant to my country today.

And Merry Xmas, Chris!

Among the exceptions, I would mention ะกavan Scott, who tries to show the scale of Star Wars and the relationship between different projects and media (including those from Legends). Every announcement in which he is mentioned as the author fills me with genuine joy.

Now, for the most part, the authors refer only to themselves. Daniel Jose Older, Justina Ireland, Alex Segura and Claudia Gray are vivid examples of this, so they Star Wars Universe seems very, very small.

Previously, we had writers with encyclopedic knowledge of Star Wars like James Luceno, John Jackson Miller, Jason Fry, who could add millions of references to other people's works to their stories. That's why I really liked the "modern" books by Fry and Miller.

The problem with current authors of #StarWars books and comics is that they are only familiar with their own piece of a galaxy far, far away and don't know (or understand) what others are doing. Therefore, they constantly use the same characters, the same planets, the same organizations and groups.

Hope you'd be among the first one group.
