"Rules? I'm more into improvisation"

Celebrating 10 years since her introduction, and as an early bday gift to myself, it was time for my first tattoo and it had to be my favorite character: Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra! #DoctorAphra #StarWarsComics

A photo of me standing in a tattoo parlor, right arm held out so the fresh tattoo can be seen. I'm wearing khaki shorts and a black shirt with red and white lettering of the words "rogue archaeologist" while the tattoo depicts Doctor Aphra's aviator helmet with electro-tattoo designs coming out of it.

I'm Sitting on the chair, trying to look brave for the photo, tattoo artist making the magic happen

My very crude drawing of a Doctor Aphra Star Wars Villainous card, which has images of Triple-Zero, BT-1, Sana Starros, Magna Tolvan, Darth Vader, and several artifacts, as well as what inspired the tattoo design: Aphra's aviator cap and electro-tattoo coming out of it

Still a while before it’s ready, plan to color it, but here’s kinda what a page from the #BewareTheMynock2025 collected zine will look like.

Three panels of the Mynock gathering information, a fourth in his cockpit, and a fifth docking with another ship.

Been probably 10-12 years since I read this last and it still has the magic. The annotations would be reason enough to own this again, but the presentation is above and beyond and makes this edition feel worthy of all our lofty thoughts about Stover's work. If you can, don't miss out!

Mynock Manor @mynockmanor.bsky.social · 19d

Took a few tries to get the right angle where you can't see my shiny forehead and phone, but this feels like the fitting angle for this deluxe beauty of a masterpiece anyways!

Picture of the front jacket of the Revenge of the Sith novelization deluxe edition release, which has a slipcase in the shape of Vader's silhouette, through which the title can be seen and artwork of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi fighting on Mustafar. On the bottom third, a wrap around denotes the special edition

This deluxe edition is far more than a pretty coating, the insights and fun approach to annotations make it a brand new experience. Read more about my thoughts below! #StarWars

Ah, damn. The best of the best. His posters for Attack of the Clones, Return of the Jedi, Revenge of the Sith, and The Empire Strikes Back were all fixtures on the walls of my childhood bedroom—from 1998 till the day my folks sold the house.

Curious if the Starfarer is a ship similar to the Halcyon... might as well start showing there are more like it since there's not a hotel which needs marketing.

For #IndigenousPeoplesDay, enjoy this thread of past articles wherein I put a Native lens to pop culture.

Always grateful for @io9dotcom.bsky.social letting me talk about Tusken Raiders in #StarWars and how they evolved in The Book of Boba Fett:

The latest Disney+ Star Wars series went to great lengths to infuse its Tusken tribe with influences from real-world Indigenous cultures.

Unbeknownst to the Mynock, inside the ship, the seller, an ugnaught, is already being questioned by another!

Sorry to hear

Mynock Manor @mynockmanor.bsky.social · 4d

And uh.... it's turning into a whole thing. Took a break to walk the dogs and was folding laundry while with chat but image uploads simply don't work. Hopefully we'll get this resolved

Mynock Manor @mynockmanor.bsky.social · 4d

We'll have a publishing panel wrap up, but have to deal with a website issue first I guess!

Mynock Manor @mynockmanor.bsky.social · 4d

Annnnd my amateur attempts to figure it out didn't help at all. Manor's still up, at least!
