Is there any subject in Star Wars you would refuse to write about?

This is a complicated answer because it ties into my feelings wrt representation and who gets to tell what story/their OWN stories. So, like, kinda?

For example, I have had multiple people ask if I would do a Shmi book if it was offered, and my answer is no, because I don’t think the first book to be *truly about* slavery in Star Wars should be 1. by a white lady and 2. about a white lady. That’s the reason Padmé and Sabé fail in Queen’s Shadow. They’re trying, but they did basically no homework and they’re completely outside of their culture, and yeah, maybe they made tiny steps, but they didn’t ask first (or they would have found out about the emancipation movement before Sabé blew her cover). I do, 100%, think that SOMEone should address the slavery/trafficking aspects of the SW galaxy (and how, like Palpatine NEEDED IT for the Empire to function), but I don’t think I’m that person.

I’m also not super interested in most of the bad guys, which I feel is pretty well known. ;)

And, while we’re talking about representation, as much as I love love love Enfys Nest, I hope LIKE HECK they hire a First Nation/Native American writer for her story. (Do I think that, as with Latinx In Space, the inverted-coding for her and the Marauders was accidental? Yes. Do I think they should FREAKING RUN WITH IT ANYWAY? I do.)

It’s a complicated topic (which is why I’m pleased, for example, that Rebecca Roanhorse was hired to write a “normal” SW book first I HOPE THEY HIRE HER AGAIN SHE IS REALLY GREAT), but at the end of the day: I want more people at this table, and if there’s ANY WAY I can get more chairs added, I am going to do it.

Oh! I figured out what the plot to the Mormon Good Omens thing could be! What if we were on the cusp of discovering life on other planets and God was like "no I don't want you to do that yet" and the Three Nephites had to sabotage NASA? That would be wild

So... When did Anakin take a level in flirting? He went from "I don't like sand" to charming the queen of Zygerria

Obi-Wan gave him a crash course after witnessing that whole “more beautiful for a Senator” debacle. 😄

Wait where do we have canon images of Xisuma hair

i mean, if you r talking about x, he has a couple (a lot) of guitar vids from two years back, and one or two or them shows him with a dirty blonde beard, so i took the adjacent color and used brown bc i think it looks nicer

The trope where found family becomes your actual family through marriage (like in Harry Potter)

considering how much emphasis is put on biological families being important ignoring how many of them are abusive or might just not be good for their kids to be around I am 100% for this
