And for the kind people asking for tour dates:

Every word in this *thing* weighs about a ton, figuratively speaking.

I have to write *a thing*. It is only 61 words long.

I do not want to write it. I am not a writer. It is terrifying, and I am wholly unqualified/undeserving, but it my responsibility and obligation.

61 words might as well be 61,000.

I'll tell you about it...um, some day.

It's true, all of it. Best part of getting to work on the stories, is how awesome they all are as people.

ok but what does Noxi Kell think about it?

"...truth becomes a weapon of the Empire..."

#ReignoftheEmpire #EdgeoftheAbyss

Sometimes you get a spark of inspiration for a new project at *the most* inopportune time.

Only one thing to do when that happens.

Write it up, and try to make it happen.

An under-discussed theme that runs through all #StarWars is regret. How many characters are burdened and shackled by it and those that are able to break those shackles and push forward despite regrets, vs those who are dragged down and broken by them

I'm constantly fascinated by character regrets

The Mendel-aissance

This scene has to advance 2 characters (and bring 1 full circle), remind the audience of a dozen diff turning points from nearly 20 episodes, whilst recontextualizing half of them

And it *also* still needs to be intense, terrifying, entertaining, and exhilarating.

Incredible

Because it carries all the weight of any of those, while also weaving intricate story tethers that span two seasons, back to episode 1. It's both a tool + a moment.

To do all of that and not collapse under the expository weight is truly impressive. And of course the performances are at an 11.

The more I watch it, the more I think *THIS* scene is the most impressive achievement in all of #Andor.

More than Luthen/Mon's speeches.
More than "One Way Out".
More than "F**** the Empire"
More than Ghorman.

I MISSED THIS?

I’m an experienced game critic/journalist looking for work! I’d love to continue writing about games, but I’d happily consider PR, consulting, narrative, or non-gaming editorial work. I have experience hosting and producing podcasts, and I’m comfortable on mic and camera.
Portfolio/email in bio! 🧵

Or he plays 1 turn, accidentally calls you Thrass, and then doesn't talk the rest of the quick game before asking you to leave, politely, but firmly.

Bill Guerin's aunt taught me high school biology.

Wow, just trying to openly poach folks right in front of me like that?

They should have Thrawn sitting in the cantina at Galaxy's Edge now, just pointing up at the blaster scarring on the wall and telling passersby "I did that", while nursing the same drink all-day.

And when Vader walks by he yells out GOOD DAY, ANAKIN! really loud.

Everything about this video is awesome.

The Little Hobbit has decided that my face is to be treated like some kind of Bop-It toy.

And I should add, its an honor and a privilege.

Wow.

I think the first 50 times I saw Gardenia were all various watches of all / parts of Moonstruck. Which means that my mind almost refuses to acknowledge him looking any other way, any other age, etc.

So this picture is blowing my mind.

Potholes are a local city council issue.

How edits to a #StarWars novel *sometimes* happen:

*Checks reference book.
*Leads to ref book 2.
*Leads to photo caption of ref book 3.
*Caption leads to mid-1990s "Adventure Journal"
*Which leads to mid-2000s issue of SW Insider...

Which leads to an editorial suggestion to solve plot issue.

After this story, we all knew it was just a matter of time before Madeleine joined us for a full novel. Honestly, it would have been malpractice *not* to do that. Took a while - so glad we got here.

There was no one else to write this Rey/Leia story but Madeleine.

With #StarWars #Legacy coming this summer, just want to remind you what happened the last time the utterly brilliant Madeleine Roux wrote a #StarWars story.

"Eclipse" From a Certain Point of View ANH (2017)

I don’t have a full-time job at the moment and am looking to pick up freelance work! Let me write book reviews and recommendations, pop culture criticism, or geek news for YOU in 2026. My work has been enjoyed on Den of Geek, the official Star Wars site, The Mary Sue, and more. 🚀

Right now you could manually mark each plot related comment with like "plot1" at the end of each, and us "find" but its clunky, inelegant, and doesn't quite let you view the full scope of those comments together.

I realize this is asking for the "Airtable-ification" of Word, but...well here we are

They really need to add a native function to MS Word that lets you add tags to comments then filter or organize.

IE: mark comments related to the plot with a "plot" tag, and then later only view comments with that tag. This would make comments more useful as well as distilling them better.
