I had a blast chatting with @chrysanthetan.bsky.social of the @starwarsmusmin.bsky.social podcast about my book-writing process. We go <deep> into the Dies Irae weeds here, and one of us even utters the phrase “I love me an Ewok.” Tune in to find out who.

Live now! 🎻🎙️🎵🪈🎼🎶🥁

My favorite cameo in Andor Season 2 is Nemik’s manifesto.

Why? Because it’s a piece of creativity. As is Andor, as is Star Wars, as is my stuff, as is the work of anyone who brings something into the world the way only they could, something that never existed before.

Art is change.

Does anyone know what "foley walking crew" means? (Dave Acord referred to the foley team this way in a TROS interview, and I'm not sure if that implies something special) youtu.be/_ENrGVzr0bs?...

Great time talking Skeleton Crew with great musical insight from our guest @starwarsmusmin.bsky.social! Check it out, hope you enjoy the podcast, thanks!
