This was so fun to record! M-C and I had a great time talking about Maul and the myth of Sisyphus, and also my own strange journey of trying to answer the question, "Why does Maul matter?"

It was quite a discussion, lots of laughter and even a few tears. Thanks for having me, Marie-Claire! ❀️

Here's me, Oct 2, 2022. "...apart from that print material, we’ve not stated his age with any specificity, so he could very well be well over 100 in Episode I if [you want] him to be."

Recording today on existentialism and absurdism. And Maul!

It’s fun! It will be a good episode.

Also Starting this month I am releasing an episode by episode deep dive into Ahsoka season 1 on Patreon. All the episodes will be released in the lead up to Season 2.

8 years ago I figured out I am good at this.

It doesn’t come without work… oh so much work. But I have loved this journey.

I’m cooking up some good stuff for this year!

What the Force? Is 8 - which is the most Ouroboros of numbers.

The ouroboros is a symbol of alchemical union because the consuming side is in union with the creative end. Death and Life, creation and destruction. The cycle is renewal and rebirth. Fundamentally that gives us hope of transformation!

So much wisdom in their words! πŸ₯°Transformative art > nostalgic art!! Yes, it’s the biggest problem we have in all of our stories/mythology attempting to continue forward for new audiences!!! #Willow #StarWars #Lucasfilm @wtforce.bsky.social @fangirling0nly.bsky.social youtu.be/6ZTMngmpe-E?...

A two-paneled fanart in a semi-realistic painterly style. The first panel shows Ben Solo with messy hair looking up at something unseen. A brown and fuzzy blanket (or something to that effect) is wrapped around his shoulders, covering what would otherwise be nudity. Behind him is a green forest with tall trees and other shrubbery. Floating next to him are two blue flutterbies: small, semi-transparent butterfly-like creatures. A thought bubble shows Ben thinking, "Where am I?" The second panel shows Ben from the behind, now small in the foreground. In front of him stands a large, bright yellow, weeping willow-style tree. It is the bunta tree that was originally seen in the Acolyte, indicating that Ben is on Brendok. Another thought bubble reads, "WHO am I?" Below the second panel is a black area with some words in Aurebesh that, when translated, read, "To be continued in... The Hunt for Ben Solo."

obviously the most popular theories about Ben's whereabouts post-TROS involve him being stuck in the WBW... but here's an alternative one πŸ¦‹ #TheHuntForBenSolo (& #RenewTheAcolyte!!)

Like I, even after we made Glass Onion, like our contract with Netflix was like, we had like five years to make the next one.
So I could have gone and done something completely different next, but the most exciting thing in the world to me was the idea of making this specific movie and attempting this specific thing. So I don't know.
I don't want to, I think there's also a danger in second guessing that just
