It’s been 5 years since I had my first words published in an official Star Wars anything … it could have stopped right there and I would have been the happiest dude in the galaxy.
But it didn’t, and I am still so grateful.

We saw the first 18 minutes of the movie at IMAX HQ, toured the Adelphi Base set, explored the props department, and interviewed the crew (including director Jon Favreau, production designer Andrew L. Jones, and prop master Josh Roth).
Full podcast episode coming very soon.
Last week, I was invited to Los Angeles by Lucasfilm to go behind-the-scenes of the upcoming THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU.
I’ve been very lucky and done a lot of very cool things. This might be the luckiest and the coolest. Thank you, STAR WARS. For everything.
In addition to new slip art by Colin Murdoch, our Blu-ray includes a commentary featuring director Mathieu Fournier, producer Pierre-Mathieu Fortin, and Raza, plus a second commentary with @patrickcotnoir.bsky.social of The George Lucas Talk Show and Star Wars Insider‘s @actuallybrandon.bsky.social

Thanks to fearless EIC @kristinbaver.bsky.social for all her help and guidance! It’s been a dream writing for the official site.
BUH WEET
they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

I would buy a “I’m a Raimi Girl” shirt tbh
Ominous way to phrase this
I’m insane :( and bought the same type of vintage towel that they used for the original Boba Fett screen test and then got Duwayne Dunham (the man in the suit) to sign it :(
Fantasy author and RPG writer Jean Rabe has passed away. She was known for her work at TSR and the RPGA, but she also worked on WEG’s Star Wars d6 RPG. In Galaxy Guide 12, Rabe wrote up several alien species including cover model Ephant Mon’s Chevin (with other aliens by @infinata.bsky.social).

If you’re looking for a horror movie to watch at home this weekend … may I suggest BEAST OF WAR? @fangoria.bsky.social
I shall call it ‘dogshit,’ then.
FANGORIA magazines, convention issues and special one offs from 2025.
A pretty crazy and productive 2025 at FANGORIA. Here is everything I worked on that got printed. We have a great team and it’s been a joy to work with everyone at Fango. Pretty wild stuff and excited for what new projects I get to work on in 2026.
