The ForceCast, the podcast that I’ve co-hosted for the past two years, unveiled a new format in this week’s show. At the end of the episode, I made an announcement: Beginning next week, I will no longer be one of the voices welcoming you to the ForceCast. I’m not leaving the network, and you’ll still…

I appeared on the TouchVision network to discuss George Lucas’ recent comments about having nothing to do with The Force Awakens and whether the movie is in good hands at Lucasfilm. Post by TouchVision. I had a great time talking to Ken, the producer of the segment, and hope we can connect again in the…

When I was six years old, I drew a picture of a house. I wouldn’t call it a particularly magnificent house, but someone at Highlights for Children magazine evidently liked it, because my drawing appeared in a 1997 issue of the magazine. That was a pretty big deal for me. You never forget the first…

I put together a list of original and, dare I say it, clever Star Wars puns for The Official Star Wars Blog, as part of their pre-game festivities for May the Fourth, a.k.a. Star Wars Day. Anyone who knows me can tell you that puns are a specialty of mine, and since Star Wars is…
