My next book, the @STARWARS ENCYCLOPEDIA OF STARFIGHTERS AND OTHER VEHICLES from @DKBooks , is available for pre-order now! It will be available this fall, and is a book that I would have obsessed over as a ten-year-old (or as a thirty-two-year-old, to be honest).

Today is the release of the STAR WARS ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Comprehensive Guide to the @StarWars Galaxy, from @dkbooks . I was honored to contribute alongside a very talented team of co-authors (and editors and designers) who put this book together. Pick it up (my first official STAR WARS book!) at your local independent bookstore, or wherever books are sold.

49 years ago this month, my favorite movie of all time premiered at the @chinesetheatres . Yesterday, I got to watch the premiere of its new installment in that same theatre. Insane. Thanks so much to @lucasfilm and @starwars for the invite, and thanks to all my heroes at @ilmvfx and @skywalkersound for making actual magic. THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU is out next week!

Earlier this year, I joined my cousin (and Teen Jeopardy! alum) @williamgolden14 on Pop Culture Jeopardy! It was a bit of a dream come true to buzz in on the Alex Trebek Stage - and to meet Scarlett Johansson’s husband. Cheer on team Trivial Texans on 5/26, streaming on Netflix! #PopCultureJeopardy

Last week, I was invited to Los Angeles by @lucasfilm to go behind-the-scenes of the upcoming THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU. We saw the first 18 minutes of the movie at @imax HQ, toured the Adelphi Base set, explored the incredible props department, and got to interview the crew of the film (including director @jonfavreau , production designer Andrew L. Jones, and prop master and droid puppeteer Josh Roth). More photos and a full podcast episode coming very soon. I’ve been very lucky and done a lot of very cool things. This might be the luckiest and the coolest. Thank you, @starwars . For everything. 📸: @atwes

Happy birthday to the prettiest girl in the world. (Swipe to the end to see how good she is as a beer pong partner.)

When I was, like, six years old I had my birthday party at Barnes & Noble — so this is really special! If you live in Austin, TX, come hang out at @bnarboretum with me next weekend, and talk about your favorite Star Wars starfighter. RSVP at the *link in bio* as they say.

My second book, The STAR WARS ENCYCLOPEDIA OF STARFIGHTERS AND OTHER VEHICLES was published today, from @DKBooks . It’s always a crazy feeling to see my name *anywhere* close to the @STARWARS logo … and this time it’s very, very close. Insane. Thank you.

Over the weekend, I drove back up to DFW to moderate Academy Award winner @rogerjchristian ’s panel at the second annual Rebel Scum Con! He is the “father of the lightsaber”, and helped design so much of the original STAR WARS (1977) and ALIEN (1979), including R2-D2, blasters, and the iconic laser sword. This is my fourth time inteviewing him, but first in person, and it remains an honor. Thank you to the RS Con team for having me out and trusting me with their programming!
