Charles Soule: Author of LIGHT OF THE JEDI and Marvel's STAR WARS
Today is an incredibly special episode. During Star Wars Celebration, I took a break from the show floor, headed upstairs to the convention center bar and sat down with maybe my favorite current Star Wars writer: Charles Soule.
This conversation is a true deep dive into his process, his inspirations, and his journey. Really incredible.
Of course, for more updates on Charles’ work, as well as the option to buy signed copies, head to his personal website: www.charlessoule.com
Amy Richau: LIVE from Star Wars Celebration 2023
Today is our 150th episode and it is special because its a full recording of the LIVE official panel from Star Wars Celebration London 2023.
Making it extra special is our guest, Amy Richau, an incredible author and one of my personal biggest inspirations. She is the author of many Star Wars books, including I LOVE YOU. I KNOW. and the recently released, much-anticipated STAR WARS TIMELINES.
As a bonus, the last ten minutes of the episode include our very silly “DON’T LET ME BUY THIS … LIVE”, featuring my wife, Maggie. It’s a very visual portion, so apologies in advance.
Leilani Shiu: Teeka the Jawa
