Thank you so much to everyone who attended LegendsCon three weeks ago! We had such a great time meeting everyone and celebrating the galaxy we all love so much. The team has been getting some much needed rest, and we'll be back to posting here soon!

By far the most swag I've ever amassed at one con (and that's not including the two tote bags and tees I picked up too!). Huge thanks to @legendsconsortium for hosting a truly legendary celebration of all things Star Wars Expanded Universe. I've already made it 2/3 through Craig Miller's book, and I managed to snag the last hardcover copy of Jon Bongiorno's Supernatural Encounters. That's gonna be fun to whip out at the local pubs.

My main outfit for the weekend was Shadows of the Empire Luke, but as soon as I'd heard there'd be a cantina party I knew I was gonna have to rep my man's hot chocolate obsession, so Bachelor Party Luke got a little turnt on his favorite beverage, lol.

I had a blast at LegendsCon and I'm watching your career with great interest!

#So glad you enjoyed it!

Day two goody haul @legendsconsortium plus photos from some of the panels we attended. I couldn't decide between the lightsaber and since it was a special day I gave in and got both. Got a few more books signed and bought some extra signed ones from the Mysterious Galaxy booth (and regret passing on one but can't do anything about that now). This was probably the most fun I've had at a convention in a while, and not just because it was my first one in four years. Everyone was awesome and made it so much fun. I'm looking forward to going again in the future.

#We're so glad you had a great time!

You killed it today! See you tomorrow!

catch me running around @legendsconsortium struggling to snappily explain callista's character better than "luke skywalker's bitter ex" or a 500 page treatise on why that first description is reductive and misogynistic

Thanks for coming! See you tomorrow!

Home from day one of @legendsconsortium. It was a great day and an great convention.

Saw some awesome panels, took a writing workshop with Michael Stackpole, bought some prints and a set of Rogue One figures, and managed to get five of the books I took signed (and even bought two more to be signed while I was there because why would I not?).

Looking forward to day two tomorrow and an attempt at one more sighing.

Panel Announcement: In Conversation with Barbara Hambly

Join award-winning author Barbara Hambly for a discussion of her works published in the early years of the Expanded Universe, comprising three short stories and the novels Children of the Jedi and Planet of Twilight. Written during the beloved “Bantam era” of the 1990s, her stories were among a select few that shaped the galaxy far, far away in the wake of Return of the Jedi—when the New Republic was young, and Luke Skywalker was only beginning his journey to restore the Jedi Order!

Panel Announcement: In Conversation with Matthew Stover

From his jaw-dropping Star Wars debut in The New Jedi Order: Traitor, to his apocalyptic—and Lucas-approved—cult classics Shatterpoint and Revenge of the Sith, to the postmodern legend of Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor, Matthew Stover has packed a literary punch in multiple eras of the Expanded Universe—and amassed a legion of fans for transcending the bounds of “franchise fiction.” Come hear his tales of working around the galaxy, and with George Lucas himself!

Panel Announcement: The Many Lives of Luke Skywalker

In the Legends novels and comics, Luke Skywalker's character grew to be something far greater than the Jedi Knight of the original trilogy. He fell in love multiple times, discovered how to use the Force beyond the Jedi way, and even (momentarily) embraced the Dark Side to learn "its secrets from within." Join authors Matthew Stover, Michael Stackpole, Barbara Hambly and Michael Kogge on a discussion of Star Wars’ most misunderstood hero.
