It has now been reported that Canadian actor Angus MacInnes passed away just before Christmas. Known to Star Wars fans as Gold Leader ("Dutch Vander") in the original film, Mr. MacInnes was a world-class actor with parts in Eyes Wide Shut, Rollerball, and so many other iconic films. I am re-publishing our live interview from 2019, which briefly showcases his warmth, passion, and love for acting. Take a listen. Rest in peace, Mr. MacInness.

Steven Barnes: Author of THE CESTUS DECEPTION and MACE WINDU: THE GLASS ABYSS
Today is an interview with the closest I have ever gotten to a real life Jedi: best-selling author Steven Barnes. In addition to an incredible amount of science fiction books and stories, Star Wars fans will know Mr. Barnes best as the author of 2004’s Star Wars: The Cestus Deception novel and now, 20 years later, this week’s Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss. Thank you so much again to Mr. Barnes for taking the time to impart such passion, wisdom, and inspiration in such a short time. Really just mind-boggling stuff. His latest novel, The Glass Abyss came out yesterday, and I highly recommend it. Thank you to Meghan at Random House Worlds for setting all of this up. You can buy the book here. In other news … I co-wrote an official Star Wars book. I cannot believe it. Star Wars Encyclopedia from DK Books is coming out next month and can be pre-ordered now.

Ahmed Best: The Man Behind Jar Jar Binks
Today is an interview I have wanted to record since I was 8 years old – the incredibly talented Ahmed Best. He, of course, played Jar Jar Binks beginning with Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace, as well as Jedi Master Kelleran Beq beginning with Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge and most recently in Star Wars: The Mandalorian. He changed movie-making forever, and is currently working to change the rest of the world too. This was recorded live at this summer’s Rebel Scum Con and was a true dream come true. Thank you so much to Mr. Best for taking the time to impart such passion, wisdom, and inspiration in such a short time. Thank you as well to manager Zach Avino and Alliance Appearance Agency for making this happen. Their next appearance together will be at SpaceCon San Antonio. In other news … I co-wrote an official Star Wars book. I cannot believe it. Star Wars Encyclopedia from DK Books is coming out next month and can be pre-ordered now. More info to come, believe me.
