The WNBA Player’s Association issued an excellent (imo) statement yesterday, stressing the league’s values and stating that they won’t be used as political pawns. The league and its individual teams might want to reach out to whoever is doing comms for the WNBPA. Just sayin.

WNBPA A MESSAGE FROM WNBPA PLAYER LEADERSHIP To everyone who loves this game: The WNBPA represents 200+ individual people with different lived experiences, cultures, lifestyles, and opinions. We embrace justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion. Those are the values that unite this Union and allow it to protect women's sports while creating transformational change. Hate, abuse, and demonization of any person or group of people, including transgender people, only fuel fear, division, and harm. We will continue to have hard conversations. But we will not be used as political pawns. Support the Players. Support the Fans. At games, notify security if you witness hateful, violent, or abusive behavior. Online, report abusive posts and drown out the bots and bad actors. At home, tell your elected officials to strengthen Title IX.

Variety did an interview with Simon Farnaby and it looks like he and Paul King were doing a Star Wars project after Paddington 2, which definitely sounds like it was Star Wars: A Droid Story. Glad to hear it’s got a second life as its own thing, but damn that 2020 investor day will haunt me forever.

Among the incoming offers was from Disney and Lucasfilm for a “Star Wars” film that King would direct and the pair would write (Farnaby’s second brush with the Force after a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance as a rebel pilot in “Rogue One”). “So we got distracted by that for a while,” he says, adding that their idea was based around a robot and didn’t involve any of the key “Star Wars” characters, something he acknowledges might have played a part in it not working out (although the concept is being reworked into something else). “They were like, we really need it to be a ‘Star Wars’ movie, which is probably why it didn’t get turned into a ‘Star Wars’ movie!” he says with a chuckle. “But we never really nailed it.”Darth Vader meme asking if Star Wars: A Droid Story is safe and all right?

Got a little dramatic at Comic-Con to show off the scale of my new Darth Vader book.💥 No tables were broken, but I think this demonstrates the physical weight of 50 years of Star Wars storytelling.
