One Of My Favorite Posts

Hello friends, here’s a blast from the past that I had a lot of fun writing and thought I’d share again. Enjoy! A Jedi’s connection with animals

Mon Mothma Fan Art

Hello friends! I’ve been working on a piece of fan fiction featuring Mon Mothma, so I thought I’d poke around and find some fan art of the Chandrilan Senator, Rebel leader, and New Republic Chancellor. Enjoy! This one is part of the official artwork of Star Wars Celebration Japan in 2025. I love the style–called ukiyo-e, a traditional Japanese art style that flourished in the 17th to 19th…

Star Wars Canon Contemplation: Inferno Squad and Alphabet Squadron

Hello friends, so after tearing through the Legends trilogy of Darth Bane, I decided to read some canon books. I’ve been avoiding the “pilot” stories because I don’t really care for those–I thought. But there are only a handful of canon novels left that I haven’t read, lol, so I had to broaden my view. I decided to start with Battlefront II: Inferno Squad. Of course, I haven’t played the game,…

My Star Wars AOC Fan Fiction--Satine

Hello friends, here’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while–share my fanfiction here on the blog. I’ve linked to my stories on Archive Of Our Own before, but I wanted to put some of it straight here on the blog. I’ve written a few shorter pieces that will work here. These short stories have a common thread which is, admittedly, a bit morbid–I wanted to get into the head of several women Star…

A Revisit to a Great Star Wars Book

If you have a blog on WordPress, you’ve probably noticed it’s been showing old posts that you wrote on this day in the past. It’s kind of fun to go back and see what I was reading and writing about in Star Wars one year, two years, 5 years ago. I also had another, separate blog where I wrote about the Star Wars books I was reading called, appropriately enough, The Star Wars Reader. I briefly do…

My Legends Reading Challenge: The Old Republic: Darth Bane--Path of Destruction

Spoilers Ahead!!! Hello friends! You didn’t think I’d forgotten my Legends reading, did you? Nope, it just took me a bit to get this far. I had been reading Knight Errant by John Jackson Miller, and surprisingly, it was a terrible slog for me. I happen to like JJM’s other books–A New Dawn and Kenobi, specifically–and I was familiar with his rather plodding, and carefully and thoroughly-told…

My Thoughts on The Mandalorian and Grogu

I’m going to assume you saw the movie, but if you didn’t, there may be some spoilers ahead!!! I saw The Mandalorian and Grogu on Sunday and I’m giving it a definite thumbs up. It’s a super-fun popcorn movie that will entertain most in the family (it is PG-13 for space-related violence). And while I had a great time watching it in the theater, I do have some thoughts. I won’t summarize the whole…

Maul: Shadow Lord Thoughts

SPOILERS AHEAD!!! Maul: Shadow Lord just finished up, and it’s as great as I figured it would be. When it was first announced I thought, hmm, not what I really wanted, but considering how fantastic the animated series have been, I’ll probably like it. And I do, a lot. The animation just keeps getting better, the storytelling tighter, and the characterizations more complex and interesting. It’s…

Star Wars Canon Contemplation: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire and Propaganda

Hello friends! I just finished reading two Star Wars books that are set up as “non-fiction” in the galaxy far, far away, and I have to say they are both excellent. The first is The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire by Chris Kempshall, and the other is Star Wars Propaganda by Pablo Hidalgo. I started reading this sometime last year, but put it down after a few chapters for some reason; I was…

Star Wars Canon Book Thoughts- Outlaws: Low Red Moon

Hello friends! It’s been a bit, as I’ve decided not to do the monthly entertainment update for a while. What I’m going to do instead is post about new Star Wars books or shows and what I think about them as they come up. (I will also continue to post my Legends Reading Challenges; I’m working on Knight Errant right now). The latest canon novel is Low Red Moon, based on the video game that came…

A Peek At My Star Wars Shelves

I promised in my last post that I’d share some pics of my Star Wars shelves, probably as an addition to my usual Entertainment Update. But this seemed worthy of its own post, so let me introduce you to my most prized possessions, lol. So here are my two Star Wars shelves. The tall one contains all the canon books and references, and the smaller one is my Legends shelf. (The shelf to the right of…

My Star Wars Entertainment Update for December 2025

Hello friends! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. Mostly comics to talk about this month and a couple of non-Star Wars topics, so let’s get to it. The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance. Here’s the link to my latest Star Wars Legends Reading Challenge entry. Comics: Han Solo: Hunt for the Falcon #4. I’ve liked this series, as we get some memories of young Ben Solo from Han. Better times. But…

Star Wars Legends Reading Challenge: Annihilation

Hello friends, and welcome to the latest installment of my Legends Reading Challenge. We’re still in the Old Republic (and will be for a bit), and this time it’s Drew Karpyshyn’s Annihilation. Let’s get into it! This one stars Theron Shan, the son of Grand Master Jedi Satele Shan (descendant of Revan and Bastila Shan). Except Satele gave him up at birth, to be raised by her former master, Ngani…

Star Wars Legends Reading Challenge: Fatal Alliance

Hello friends! It’s been a while since I posted about my Legends Reading Challenge, but I’ve finally finished The Old Republic: Fatal Alliance, by Sean Williams. On top of it being quite a hefty read (482 pages!), I put it down a few times when I was busy reading current canon like The Last Order and Mask of Evil. It didn’t help that the story wasn’t (at least initially) very compelling to me.…

My Star Wars Entertainment Update November 2025

Hello friends! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving, if you celebrate that where you are. 🙂 A few things to get to, so here we go! Warning: SPOILERS!!! Visions Season 3. I’d really been looking forward to this edition of Visions, as I’d loved the first two, especially Season 2. And while this one offered some good, entertaining episodes, none of them really stood out to me and I didn’t…

Catching Up On Some Marvel Projects-Part 1

Hello friends! In my eternal quest to avoid the awful real world, I’ve decided to set aside the endless rewatching of Star Wars I’ve seen a thousand times, and catch up with some Marvel projects I’ve let slide over the past year or so. I don’t know what kept me away, but once I started watching, I realized how much I missed this wacky world, lol. Here are some brief thoughts on a few installments…
