Hi—I wrote an article about story direction over at Lucasfilm. I cover everything—the mess of the sequel trilogy, Andor, Mandalorian, Obi-wan, and why I now believe that having one person sit over all the creative decisions at Lucasfilm isn’t the answer.

Have a read!

Every time I watch The Last Skywalker, I hope I might actually like it this time. But, no. It never gets better. As disappointing as the first time I saw it.

I love this!

The idea of illustrating Rey surrounded by the Jedi who spoke to her in The Rise of Skywalker has been on my mind for a few years, and I finally have done it. I loved working on this one!

thinking back to this in the awakening of my star wars phase

The movie I wanted to see

[mythosaursarecool]

Greater Krayt Dragon VS Mythosaur

Went into this planning a quick doodle and well… that’s not what happened here lol Anyways enjoy!

It was fun paring Mythos up against something a fair bit bigger than her. Most things she gets to play with are so small

I'm also just thinking about how people's frustration with The Bear this season in general and not just with SydCarmy is so indicative of how little people understand about story writing.

I got my BA in fiction writing which doesn't make me the world's leading expert or anything but I know enough to know that The Bear is exceptionally well-written and most of the complaints about this season stem from not knowing anything about writing a story.

And on top of this, the same people who don't know anything about writing a story are used to consuming really bad stories because right now, we're in one of the worst eras of television and honestly, writing in general, ever.

Because right now there's no expectation or requirement for a show or book to be well-written before production or publication. There's no requirement for it to actually be good, or for it to even make any sense at the writing level. All that matters is that people will watch it or read it and since people can't tell the difference between good writing and bad writing and largely aren't watching or reading for that reason anyway, who cares?

It's just an endless cycle.

Audiences don't recognize nor want good writing > Producers and publishers don't require nor pursue good writing > Writers that ultimately become successful can't nor need to write well > And the cycle starts over.

And because people are so used to bad writing, and can’t tell the difference between good and bad writing, and don’t want good writing anyway, when a show like The Bear comes around, a show that doesn’t hold their hand and explain everything to them or doesn’t spoon-feed them exactly what they want, a show that isn’t going to sacrifice the narrative through-line just to cut to the romantic chase - people are not only confused but pissed.

And then the most frustrating part of all this is that people then come to the conclusion the writer’s are bad at writing.

It is so bleak to be an aspiring writer right now, I swear.

My biggest wish for Episode 9 was that we’d see Kylo’s Empire and it like… wouldn’t be terrible.

He doesn’t have many ships, what he has is the initiative and more concentrated firepower. For the First Order to hold territory, it would have to make concessions, alliances and agreements, as well as establishing Galactic Policy. The First Order is far too small to rule with an Iron Fist everywhere, so it in basic political terms, it must allow some consent of governance if they even want to rule.

In my mind, with the Resistance reduced to a handful, Kylo Ren would focus on abolition. He’s the son of the Huttslayer and grandson of a Slave who’s in love with a different former slave. For a Fascist State, they always require an enemy and frankly? The Hutts are a perfect one for a Fascist nation.

The Enemy is both Strong and Weak? Check. They’re fundamentally other and also infiltrators? Check. Allows for a black and white world view? Double Check.

It’s a pure propaganda move. Kylo Ren (while keeping Star Destroyers over orbit of important systems) sends the fleet and the PDFs to attack Hutt Space while he cements his leadership with political reforms (establishing a system of Moffs to lessen Hux’s political power would be key, and I would try to pick natives to the sectors) and genuineky acting on Leia’s beliefs.

Time and time again, she got held up in committee or debate. The positive changes she wanted to make were stopped by beuracracy. Kylo Ren is the Supreme Leader - id he says “Free the Slaves,” they’re free.

This also would’ve put the Resistance in a bind. Accept the support of the incredibly powerful and rich Hutt Cartels, or stay true to their morals and principles? Leia in Legends worked with the Hutts, so if her Canon counterpart did, how would Rey react?

Idk, could’ve been interesting
