🎵TWIN… FLAME I feel the shame when they call me your name 🎵 #RenewTheAcolyte
as someone who loves to indulge in media meant for kids, a pet peeve is critics of that media who don't seem to understand the target audience IS kids and what kids are like "why are we making yet another 'racism is bad' movie" Cuz this might be the first one 6yo Billy has ever seen, dipshit
People knew. I just want more.
“Hey, you, legendary actor, you know this thing you just worked hard on? Well it could never be as good as this other thing.” It’s not just journalistic malpractice. It’s also just plain rude.

The DragonCon Finals went really well! While I love hosting/writing EC, I’m always so excited to compete in trivia as well. Congratulations to @kalinstagram.bsky.social for both victories!

So it begins…
Filming for Star Wars: STARFIGHTER has started today! - and the full cast has been announced:
www.starwars.com/news/star-wa... Aaron Pierre and AMY ADAMS in Star Wars!
That’s the thing that’s so annoying, though: only around 1 in every 3 Americans owns a gun themselves, so while it’s a lot of Americans who feel this way, it’s nowhere near the majority. Yet we still have to be governed by their reps.
First time!
Star Wars: In a Galaxy Episode 181 – Familial Reckonings and Space Whales is out now! Find it on: Spotify hubpage: buff.ly/OUcijpp Apple Podcasts: buff.ly/xSVP5fp Spotify Podcasts: buff.ly/1jf9wIF

On 4, Montana is surprisingly progressive in spots for a NW Plains state. Now Idaho on the other hand...* *(with no offense to many great Idahoans)
All I’m saying is that if Jaxxon says he’s “Star Wars Jesus”, I’ll ascend to the multiversal level
youtu.be/rr2UMWHgNqk?... *Jaxxon appears, immediately breaks fourth wall* @jenniferlanda.bsky.social, why didn’t you tell us you were writing this? lmao
Yep, you saw it right. So excited to go to my first DragonCon! I'll only be there for the weekend, but I'm still thrilled that I get a chance to go this year!
Remember how Lucasfilm did tie-in media and then just kinda gave up after TLJ?
OK, not really all of it, I have a scruple here and there, but this trilogy is so damn underrated, and it’s the one I grew up with. I love TFA, I love TLJ even more, and I love TRoS more than that. The Sequel Trilogy means so much to me, and, because of that, the Force will be with it… always.
Disney Gallery: Ionized Basterds premieres tomorrow!

I may have had a short stint but it was a ton of fun with awesome people. Thanks again @inagalaxytrivia.bsky.social @ochifan327.bsky.social @boopenheim.bsky.social @thataldendiaz.bsky.social
Through their defeat of @darkjedi2552.bsky.social, @scottyholidaysw.bsky.social has made quite a name for themselves in the league. But can this lead to greater success? Find out TOMORROW when they join their first HYPERSPACE GAUNTLET at 10:30 AM PT / 1:30 PM ET! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mef...
IT'S TOMORROW! Also, very excited for Scotty to join Hyperspace!
Here’s a thought, Disney… maybe don’t.
I'm excited to see both these guys back in THE HYPERSPACE GAUNTLET for another go on Saturday!
TWO YEARS AGO One famous and one infamous competitor (you can decide who's who) joined THE HYPERSPACE GAUNTLET for their chance at a title shot. Who else might join the gauntlet? Find out in just TWO DAYS at 10:30 AM PT / 1:30 PM ET! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mef...
The great @hollyfrey.bsky.social will be joining EPIC CONFRONTATIONS to compete in her first ever HYPERSPACE GAUNTLET in just THREE DAYS. Does she have what it takes? Only time will tell, specifically the time of 10:30 AM PT / 1:30 PM ET on AUGUST 9! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mef...
TWO YEARS AGO: @highball2814.bsky.social made history by being the first competitor to perform a table clear in THE HYPERSPACE GAUNTLET. Will someone else do it in FOUR DAYS when THE HYPERSPACE GAUNTLET returns at 10:30 AM PT / 1:30 PM ET? Find out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mef...
This moment and its successor (watch the match!) were both INSANE! I hope for moments even half as good on Saturday!
We're thrilled to welcome DARTH CHOCO to THE HYPERSPACE GAUNTLET 2! Does he have what it takes to make a splash in EPIC CONFRONTATIONS? Find out in ONE WEEK when THE HYPERSPACE GAUNTLET 2 premieres at 10:30 AM PT / 1:30 PM ET! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mef...
Jarod's channeling his inner LL Cool J:
Link here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mef...
Every other day from now until the day before THE HYPERSPACE GAUNTLET 2, we will be releasing posters on the @inagalaxytrivia.bsky.social to highlight a player who will appear in the event! First up, this guy...
@darkjedi2552.bsky.social has had a rough start to his 2025 in Epic Confrontations. Luckily for him, HYPERSPACE is back once again! Will Jarod get a chance to climb back to the top of the ladder? FIND OUT on August 9 when THE HYPERSPACE GAUNTLET 2 streams live!
I think I'd be a decent voice actor. I've worked on quite a few impressions that aren't half-bad. I mean, the obvious one is question writer for a trivia game show (I'd probably be most qualified for Pop Culture Jeopardy), but you'd have to ask EC competitors for my efficacy with that lol
This is TOMORROW! If you haven't contacted either this account, @inagalaxypod.bsky.social, or @ochifan327.bsky.social, please do so by 11:59 PM PT tomorrow!
If YOU want to compete in THE HYPERSPACE GAUNTLET 2, make sure to DM either this account or the @inagalaxypod.bsky.social soon! Our deadline to hear from potential players is Thursday, July 31 at 11:59 PM PT!
ITS GOOD TO DREAM ITS BETTER TO #HUSL
As I just said on CNN, my father's parents were Nakba survivors. I don't want Israeli children to live in fear and I don't want Palestinian children to starve to death. There is nothing anyone could do to make me put nationalistic talking points above basic human rights.
Wait, hold up, a Mando visual guide? Finally?
@dmondom.bsky.social!
Same rules, new game. THE HYPERSPACE GAUNTLET returns for a second outing on August 9 at 10:30 AM PT / 1:30 PM ET. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mef...
idk Jordan, I think it’s a pretty measured response
Congratulations!

On a real note though, the cast getting collectively snubbed is ridiculous. Diego should be there, at the *very least.* Further supports my firmly held belief that there’s simply no amount of awards season glazing that can overcome the internalized genre and franchise biases.
I will never stop repeating the fact that any Star Wars podcast worth its salt is just riffing off of ForceCenter
There are lots of great Star Wars podcasts, but consider this a spotlight on one that feels criminally overlooked - @forcecenterpod.bsky.social - & a celebration of its ability to explore the underlying emotions & philosophy of not just the material, but also what it means to be a fan, w/positivity.
There's still plenty of time to put your name into the ring for HYPERSPACE!
SHOULD I BUY A HOUSE… or.. A LINK TO A PICTURE OF A PIXELATED MONKEY
Relatedly, replace with “Marvel” or “Star Wars” (or, I suspect, “DC” going forward).

Rian is such a class act, I love him.
Superman, Star Wars, Star Trek, X-Men. If you are upset because you think your favorite characters are woke or the stories are progressive, then I’m sorry to say but you never understood the characters or the stories. Comics are political. Sci-Fi is political.
“But that’s the whole tragic point, my friends” and now (mostly thanks to @thataldendiaz.bsky.social) “I’ve been a two-bit, carny hustler… all my life” both from the Tin Man in The Wiz (1978). Nipsey Russell, man. Nipsey Russell.
There are folks who have made it their quite lucrative brand to find no joy in - and to spew hate at - entertainment that is sincere, fun, & open to as wide an audience as possible. If you’re an adult who spitefully resents that a piece of pop entertainment is also accessible to kids - grow up.
We are about to witness levels of media illiteracy that the human mind cannot even fathom.
...seriously?
It's time to run the gauntlet again! August 9!
Prepare your bodies
Last time I started at number one. This time I will be the last one remaining.
Everybody watch out; the eternal Star Wars champion (me) of the former FCL Is coming in to take on an incredible group of fellow competitors! You're not gonna want to miss this!
👇👇
On AUGUST 9: HYPERSPACE RETURNS! Over 20 competitors enter yet again, and 1 leaves with a title shot. All livestreamed on the @inagalaxypod.bsky.social YouTube channel. As with last time, the one thing you can be certain of is that, in HYPERSPACE, anything can happen...
PLUS: Do YOU have a favorite Star Wars podcaster/YouTuber/streamer/online personality that you want to see in HYPERSPACE 2 (or are you one yourself)? Tag them here and we'll consider them to be in this epic event!
VEGAS!!! WE NOT DONE!!! OBL CHAMPIONSHIP WKND HALFTIME PERFORMANCE!!! WE BREAK ANOTHER STAGE TONIGHT!! PULL UP!!
I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.
I truly hope this puts a definitive end to the perpetual insistence by Democrats that they can compromise with Republicans. You can't. These people are extreme, depraved, and shameless. They just stripped healthcare from 17 million people to give themselves a tax cut.
I commented this on your Andor five seasons video (which was great btw), but, if The Acolyte were to be renewed for a second and third season, where would you take the story from where we left off at the end of Season 1?
No they aren't...
Honestly, if they do reboot Indy, let’s fully commit to the bit.
KASSAV (said… well, you know how I said it)
The series finale of my tabletop RPG series, Ionized Basterds, is now up. I’m very grateful for all my friends and fans, who have helped support this show and contributed to it. youtu.be/_B3BLQYX5mA?...
this new one will be something special! Long live the Basterds!
I cannot wait for the new High Republic-era RPG series that @arsmichael.bsky.social is running. From the details I have heard, it looks to be a story as ripe with potential as Basterds was at the start, and now that I’ve seen the full vision of that series, I’m that much more confident that…
Such a great run. I am just barely into the final episode, but, now that it’s all out, I highly encourage anyone who hasn’t already to watch the unofficial fifth show of the Mandoverse, all for free on YouTube. Some truly awesome Star Wars storytelling with excellent characters and ideas.
A weirdly big part of my inner Star Wars fandom has wrapped up today with the release of this finale. If y’all haven’t, please go check out one of the greatest Star Wars RPG‘s ever.

Happy 30th birthday to genuinely one of the most creative people I know. There is just no one like @thescottjayro.bsky.social, and he shows it every single day with his ingenuity in finding new ways to express himself. Happy birthday buddy!
