Star Wars

I’ve been a Star Wars fan since I was eight and saw Princess Leia’s ship arrow overhead, followed by a seemingly endless wall of Imperial Star Destroyer. In recent years I’ve been lucky enough to get to write Star Wars material for Lucasfilm and its licensees, and see my son fall in love with the saga just as I did. Oh, and I was a stormtrooper for a night at Citi Field. That was intense.
