Big, if true.

I love how when C-3PO wants Luke to buy R2-D2 and he’s all like, "Oh, you’ll be pleased with that one, sir. He's in prime condition. A really great droid!" and then like an hour later he's all, "Oh, he’s a faulty and malfunctioning little twerp. He’s always a problem and always will be a problem."

I would like to see the babies.

Maurice Sendak author and illustrator of children's books, such as "Where the Wild Things Are" (1963), "In the Night Kitchen" (1970), "Outside Over There" (1981), and the "Little Bear" series by Else Holmelund Minarik,

Terry Gross: Can you share some of your favorite comments from readers that you've gotten over the years? Maurice Sendak: Oh, there's so many. Can I give you just one that I really like? It was from a little boy. He sent me a charming card with a little drawing. I loved it. I answer all my children's letters sometimes very hastily-but this one I lingered over. I sent him a postcard and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, "Dear Jim, I loved your card." Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, "Jim loved your card so much he ate it." That to me was one of the highest compliments I've ever received. He didn't care that it was an original drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.

The story of the kid from your trip reminds me of this classic anecdote from Maurice Sendak, and honestly gives me tremendous hope for the future of Star Wars.

Are you planning to see "The Mandalorian and Grogu" on a big screen… or the BIG screen?

"What I Saw Made My Mouth Drop" Pedro Pascal on 'The Mandalorian & Grogu' YouTube video by Fandango

Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver, and Jon Favreau sit down to chat about "The Mandalorian and Grogu" with @pnemiroff.bsky.social.

A cool video from cool people sharing a cool experience!

Alex and Mollie put together an excellent video with an engaging conversation and great footage to tell the story of their adventure—well produced, well edited, and well worth your time (with plenty of spoiler off-ramps).

This is the way.

Movie Surfers | Behind the Scenes of The Mandalorian and Grogu with @MichelleKhare YouTube video by Disney

Somehow the Movie Surfers returned.

I would like to see the babies.

The artists are Julien Rico Jr. and David Ball.

Star Wars Celebration Los Angeles poster art by Tom Jung showcases a colorful fusion of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia Organa, and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO in front of an artistic rendition of LA landmarks, including a fun twist on the classic Hollywood sign. Darth Vader, the Empire’s Death Star, and a handful of TIE fighters loom over everything, with a pair of X-wing starfighters ready to join the fight.

LET'S GOOOOO!!!

"Look, I can't get involved. I've got work to do. It's not that I like the Empire, I hate it... but there's nothing I can do about it right now."

C-3PO taps on Jabba's door in "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi"

One scene from Star Wars that really speaks to my soul is when C-3PO places the lightest knock imaginable upon Jabba's front door and is immediately like "welp, guess no one's home, let's go!"

"[Maul's lightsaber speaks alien language]"

Scream Sabers are canon!!!

Darth Vader and Boba Fett in "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back"

I feel like part of the animosity between Vader and Fett probably came down to the fact that Anakin had a mother and no father, while Boba had a father and no mother.

The Promise of Progress with Prof. H.W. Brands | Historical Lecture | Lucasfilm YouTube video by Lucasfilm

Lucasfilm documentaries made for "The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones" DVDs:

• The Promise of Progress youtu.be/H2nr-bxDmk0
• War and Revolution youtu.be/oJ5J6fxmgp8
• New Gods for Old youtu.be/b7ofiga5jw8

Lucas has said things don't automatically get better, we simply gain better tools and understanding to make things better. Progress requires constant effort. When the promise of progress falls short, the gap between expectation and reality can turn into resentment, blame, fear, anger, and suffering.

The show's take on the promise of progress feels very Lucasesque.

George's "Young Indy" showed how change at the turn of the 20th century turned into world wars. Alex explains here how optimism of a new millennium has soured. And "Shadow Lord" explores that same fragility in a galaxy far, far away.

Between the amazing sound design from David W. Collins and the great music from the Kiners, this show really sounds incredible! Pretty sure I caught bits of the "Battle of the Heroes" leitmotif from Episode III sneaking into Episode 3 too.

The Mandalorian title card with the Disney+ "skip intro" button.

I don't want to be "that guy," but... the intro to "The Mandalorian" is a title card that's literally less than six seconds long.

Awesome! This is the way. I assume Mollie showed up and, very calmly in a Werner Herzog tone, simply said: "I would like to see the baby."

Since its debut in 1977, that averages out to about two hours of live-action Star Wars per year—roughly a movie—every year for the past 50 years!

Meanwhile, animated Star Wars storytelling is about to surpass 200 hours with more than 450+ episodes. Woohoo!

And if you toss in the non-canon Holiday Special, the two Ewok films, and that episode of The Muppet Show.... then you reach a grand total of 99 hours of live-action Star Wars!

The 4 quadrants of live-action Star Wars stories:

• Skywalker Saga—9 numbered films…22h 39m

• Mandalorian Saga—3 seasons plus Book of Fett and Mandalorian & Grogu…25h 15m

• Andor Saga—both seasons plus Rogue One…22h 29m

• Anthology Stories—Solo, Kenobi, Ahsoka, Acolyte, and Skeleton Crew…23h 59m

I'm happy to see that both of Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy's kids grew up and got to work on season 2 of "The Mandalorian."
