The New York City subway is pretty strict. No smoking. No littering. And absolutely no BD droids.
Happy birthday to Harrison Ford! Here’s a few of my favorite Harrison moments from ‘The Making of Raiders of the Lost Ark’. (My favorite movie of all time.) What’s your favorite Ford role? ⬇️
Let’s talk about Obi-Wan’s last day… www.instagram.com/reel/DZpjFig...
I’ve been putting together some visual effects and sound design behind-the-scenes deep dives on the IG. Check ‘em out, and I’d appreciate a like and/or a follow. Thanks! www.instagram.com/claytonsande...

Over on the gram I’ve been posting some deep dives on some fun and quirky Star Wars history. If you like that sort of thing, smash that like and follow button, as the kids say. User name is @claytonsandell and there’s also a link in my bio. MTFBWY!
Age Verification? My first lightsaber was literally a flashlight with a plastic tube. #ForceBeamForever
I got to have a fun chat with Industrial Light & Magic visual effects supervisor David Seager about the truly stunning work for 'Tron: Ares'. Read it for free over at ILM's website. (Link in my bio!) ⬆️
Even Darth Vader has joined hundreds of other people this morning at a protest against ICE in Centennial, Colorado.
New year means new Star Wars book projects (and lots and lots and lots of RESEARCH). Coming your way in 2027! (And this is a fraction of the sources… dozens more live in PDF form…) #starwars
Such is the life of the Star Wars obsessed that you will spot a 1984 copy of the original film ON BETA at a vintage store and buy it immediately, despite having NO WAY TO ACTUALLY PLAY IT. 😂
Loving the Industrial Light & Magic 50 holiday art by ILM London’s Emily Bland!
Filmmaking legend Ben Burtt screened his director’s cut of “Attack of the Hawkmen”, a 1995 TV movie crafted from “The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles” series. He added cut scenes, created a new epilogue and more. Fun to watch Ben showcase the film 30 years later on a big screen for the first time!
Traffic-stopping standoff on the road into Skywalker Ranch this morning. Possibly a heated dispute over a female. Alerted security.
Happy Thanksgiving! Here’s hoping your day is as stress and sith-free as possible! 🦃🍁
Today I join more than 150 former ABC News staffers calling on ABC and Disney to protect their journalists (like Mary Bruce) from attacks on press freedom. Read the letter here: attackonpressfreedom.tiiny.site
I never wrote for Star Wars Insider, but today I want to thank everyone who contributed such meaningful work to 237 wonderful issues. “End of an era” is overused but this truly, truly is. For this fan, seeing my name and mug in print alongside great friends from time to time was an absolute honor.
Just a few more days until this @adamchristopher.me beauty is released into the wild. (You can preorder now!)
