Meh. 30 under 30? Raymond Chandler was 51 when The Big Sleep came out. Stan Lee was 40 when he invented Spider-Man. George Lucas was 33 when Star Wars came out. Screw any and all lists that categorise success and achievement by age. Follow your own path.
So that little book I was working on? Well...
Luke and Lando chase Ochi of Bestoon across the galaxy... and try to rescue a certain young family on the run...
STAR WARS: SHADOW OF THE SITH is out June 2022!
"Reading Shadow of the Sith will forever change your interpretation of the sequel trilogy, especially The Rise of Skywalker."
I still find it incredible I was able to do this. When I watched the ST after the book was done I was honestly AMAZED at how different the ST hit.
I checked their website. This is an example of the AI generated text in one of their promos. Deathless prose it is not.
It’s almost like this… isn’t writing? Just mindless regurgitation of plagiarised copy, formatted according to the most basic grammar rules your phone knows.

My (rather obvious) theory is that the Machete Order was only created because some people didn’t like The Phantom Menace. Which is straight-up solid gold nonsense as The Phantom Menace rules. I saw that film 9 times in the cinema. People were wild for it in 1999. Me included.
I just watched a video of a guy going through Star Wars for the first time. Some jerk told him he should watch in “Machete Order”🙄. Watching him talk through his thoughts, it is even more clear than it already was — the “Machete Order” is THE WORST way to watch Star Wars.
Guess what? I wrote a

back this week I've had people unearth this tweet! Most people know the book was cancelled, but some don't. So! It was cancelled. It does not exist. Bereft of life, it rests in peace. It kicked the bucket, shuffled off its mortal coil. It is an ex-novel.
Attention, fellow members of the Tribe! Amazon have

A big thank you to everyone who voted to strip me of my European citizenship against my will at 11pm tonight. To paraphrase one of the greatest quotes of all time, you are the very definition of cowardly and cruel.
Here's my general tip for every
#StarWars
fan: read SHADOW OF THE SITH, then re-watch the whole Sequel Trilogy. The book might tie more into THE RISE OF SKYWALKER, but it covers important ground in TFA and TLJ too. It'll change the way you see the ST.
There is a thread on Reddit with 1,820 comments all about how the Sith dagger in TROS doesn't make sense, and not a single person has read Shadow of the Sith.
I mean.
In an age of light, a darkness rises.

SHADOW OF THE SITH version of Lando and Luke! (shared with permission)
I watched Revenge of the Sith the other day and was completely blown away by the purge at the Jedi Temple. Maybe it's because of the Disney+ shows giving us more insight, but when Anakin walks into the room with the younglings, I could hardly stand it. Evil, beyond understanding.
For those of us of a certain age, Deee-lite's GROOVE IS IN THE HEART was released ***30*** years ago this month. The first Billboard 100 appearance was at number 96 on September 15th.
(Yes, 30 years).

THE RISE OF SKYWALKER is now my absolute favourite. Once you realise that Pryde recognises Ochi's ship, you can really read his utter contempt and disbelief into Richard E. Grant's performance. It's hilarious!

Wookieepedia is essential! And... I must admit I get a little kick knowing all the articles that are going to need to be flat-out rewritten come Tuesday next week 👀👀👀
I'm not going to give the tweet oxygen, but just to say: if your literary agent just thinks you're doing this writing thing as a hobby for the lols, then I would suggest finding another agent.
Please join us in wishing a very happy birthday to Adam Christopher, the amazing author behind Shadow of the Sith! Have a fantastic day

Amazing observation on the Gallifrey Base Doctor Who forum: the first in-series indication the Doctor could be female is in THE TIME MONSTER (1972) - one of the many voices of the Doctor’s subconscious we hear is a woman.
Curious thing: Netflix cancel One Day At A Time, saying it didn't have enough viewers to justify another season. My twitter feed is FULL of people very upset.
And this is the first time I have ever heard of this show. It has never come up on any Netflix recommendations.
I can’t wait for this. I’ve had the privilege of chatting to
@ChrisKempshall
about it (hey, being a SW author gives you perks) and I know it’s going to be amazing. A history of a military empire written by an actual military historian. What an incredible match.
