You just won today's Made Me Google Those Lyrics Award.

Just watched Rogue One, aka “Andor Season 3.”

ANDOR FINALE! Nearly perfect, except that idealized motherhood shot at the end.

Still watching Andor (Don't Spoil!). I'm guessing that everyone not in Rogue One dies.

I’m this guy! My book coming out now is about Star Wars & mixed race (It’s very short). My next might be about mixture, family & photography.

Perhaps the DePaul conferences, or perhaps even further… Anyway, congrats on your book! I also want to take a more personal approach to my next.

Congrats! (We’ve met, I think through Critical Mixed Race Studies?)

Mellody Hobson Remembers When Prince Performed at Her Wedding to George Lucas "In being comfortable with who he was, he gave so many other people permission to become cool with themselves."

I was today years old when I learned this! I might have included it in my book (and then have to cut it, along with 16,000 words in the penultimate version).

Yup.

Thanks. Will you email me at cartergt@uwm.edu so I can mail you a copy?

I’ll take that as a cheerful “Are you for serious” not a GDFOH “Are you serious.” Seriously, thanks.

Right on! Thanks for your YEARS of explicating this, even if means no one is getting it. You influenced my upcoming book: utpress.utexas.edu/9781477331590/

John Boyega Says ‘Star Wars’ Is ‘So White That a Black Person Existing in It’ Is a Big Deal: Toxic Fans Are ‘Okay With Us Playing the Friend’ but We ‘Cant Touch Their Heroes’ John Boyega is calling out the "Star Wars" franchise for being so white.

Star Wars came around at a sweet spot for both protecting white status quo and expanding minority representations--and it ultimately favored tokenism. With the sequel trilogy liberals were hopeful they could make changes, but that failed.

I agree with John. He knows.

DSWTWP (Deep Star Wars Thought While Peeing): By putting Hayden Christensen at the end of Return of the Jedi, George Lucas actually made the whole prequel era UNNECESSARY. Knowing what young Anakin looked like means newcomers can skip everything before his fall.

Thanks, Tananarive!

I'm still learning here but I think you'll find them. There are also "starter packs" curated for black women academics and sci-fi/horror creators. Search for Stitch and Tanarive Due.

‘Star Wars’ Movies’ Race for Rey, and the Future of the Franchise on the Big Screen The scavenger turned Jedi played by Daisy Ridley in the last three episode movies is key to the space opera's next turn.

in my opinion, Lucasfilm should:

Step 1: Invest in underrepresented talent at the helm.
Step 2: Show John Boyega the money (and riders).
Step 3: Collect the Non-Deplorable Money!

‘Star Wars’ Trilogy Deal: Lucasfilm Taps Simon Kinberg To Write & Produce Lucasfilm has closed a deal with Simon Kinberg to develop a trilogy of new Star Wars films, which he will write and produce.

My prediction: If it happens at all, it will be white AF.
