trying to convince IRLs to play a West End Games Star Wars campaign (not likely but always worth a shot)

We especially need trans girls as protagonists in YA. It's rare enough to get MC trans rep, and what little we have is almost entirely from the masc side of the spectrum.

Rooper Nitani Nation we have never lost ever

Coming in March 2026 from Dark Horse is the #HighRepublicAdventures Pathfinders, set 20 years after phase two storytelling. It's written by George Mann. Features new and returning characters from phase two.

As I read the classic Arthurian tales, I am braced for its misogyny, xenophobia, warmongering, classism, etc.

That leaves me completely unprepared for smaller slights against decency-

-like Gawain asking Arthur, "Hey, can you knight me AT YOUR WEDDING?"

(God, no wonder Guinevere and he had beef)

Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, and Oscar Isaac were perfect casting choices for our new trio.

Maz Kanata feels like she's been a part of Star Wars forever.

A spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition tells me:

“Chris Smalls is still in Givon Prison and despite repeated requests to meet with the U.S. Embassy has been ignored by his country after being abducted by the IOF in international waters.”

Our last piece of #StarWarsTheHighRepublic fiction—for now—hits shelves w/ THE BEACON, @cavan.bsky.social's final issue of his incredible Marvel run. Today, our story comes to its bittersweet & dramatic conclusion. Thank you all for creating, reading, & supporting this era. You are all the best.

what an absolutely perfect and GORGEOUS finale and send-off to a great story!

i especially want to shout out how SPECTACULAR Marika Cresta’s art is in this (and every) issue! the expressions and energy of the art bring the story to a new level and absolutely brought me to (happy!) tears

And here we are. STAR WARS: THE HIGH REPUBLIC - THE FINALE hits the stands, bringing my seven year High Republic journey to an end.

Avar Kriss and Elzar Mann pose heroically, lightsabers ready and dressed in their luminous armor as marchion ro looms in the background.

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.

Jedi porg! because what's better than a jedi porg?! 😆

Live your life in such a way that the Church of the White Rat would not work to bring you down.

I can’t imagine that there are any ICE members who read my books and are on Bluesky, but just on the very off chance—you’re monsters, you’d be the villains of anything I write, the Church of the White Rat would work to bring you down, Alex Easton would spit in your face, and I hope you die alone.

my enemy. i will steal his wife.

"Ruu had just changed his name a few weeks prior, and hearing his new name – his real name – made him light up inside. When he'd shyly told Conithr, 'I'm a boy and my name is Ruu,' the Force warmed him like sunshine, matching Conithr's welcoming smile." 🏳️‍⚧️

CAIR SAN TEKKA: "It almost sounds like you care about what happens to me."

XYLAN GRAF: "I care what happens to my assets."

CAIR: "It’s sexy when you call me that."

XYLAN: "I meant my-"

Cair laughed.

XYLAN: "Stop teasing."

He hated it when Cair laughed. It was too charming.

🍄 Fungi Fact Friday 🍄

St. George's mushroom (Calocybe Gambosa) is an edible mushroom that typically occurs in spring throughout europe and north america

but I really think that the way he's talking and asserting himself while still being kind to the friends that he's disagreeing with is indicating that the jedi knight bell's become and the self-assurance he's regaining will be highlighted in this novel

I've talked about this with @deusexvalerate.bsky.social for a while, but bell's occupied the space of being "the youngest adult novel protagonist" for a while, which has left him in a weird limbo at times, that his fellow protagonists (adult and YA alike) aren't really in +
