Hey, incase yall didnt know Vi Moradi (A Resistance spy from the Phasma novel) is one of the characters being featured in the Disney park Galaxies Edge.
I just think its interesting that she has long hair in the pic. In the Phasma novel they notated that before the book started she had JUST chopped off all her hair because she had gotten in trouble with the Forst Order and they were now looking for her. I guess that means the park is in a time before that 🤷♀️
from her Women of the Galaxy entry:
▪ Before heading to Disney Park’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge’s Black Spire Outpost on Batuu for a new mission, Vi Moradi, the spy with the code name “Starling,” worked for General Organa’s Resistance to gather valuable information on the fearsome head of the Stormtrooper Corps, Captain Phasma. Her mission comes to the attention of one of Phasma’s rivals within the First Order, Captain Cardinal, and it’s his interrogation of her that provides the narrative structure of the novel Phasma. ▪
I can’t tell if “before” her Batuu mission (in relationship to the novel) refers to
chronologically in-universe, or
publishing order
Here’s what her hair looks like in her WotG portrait:
Aahhh thank you so much for this @smols-darklighter I hadn’t known that bit! That’s a thinker tbh… I’d like to say it means publishing order but if that IS the case the wording is crazy misleading
Yeah, that’s how I’m leaning to, I just desperately want follow-up on she and Cardinal’s story post-Phasma, lol
This fall ended up being unexpectedly hard for me, and I completely crashed and burned with Inktober this year. But I’m finally in the mood to make some art again so I drew a moody Ben Solo as a little warmup.
And while I’m here, I also wanted to take a minute to thank @sleemo, @xanadus-kira and @driverdaily (among others!) for always posting a ton of wonderful photos from various press events. I’m the type of artist who desperately needs to have reference photos to work from, so I’m incredibly grateful to the people who fill my feed with beautiful photos of the Star Wars actors and actresses to use as inspiration. Thank-you! ❤️
“But I don’t think it’s very interesting if the whole story is just ‘Will Kylo get his comeuppance?’ He’s a more complicated character than that and I think he deserves a more complicated story than that. I don’t see the point of trying to get behind his mask and learn more about him if all we’re going to learn is ‘Yeah, he’s just an evil bad guy that needs to be killed.’”

Lando is sitting at a pink-colored stone table, one elbow on the tabletop, holding shield-shaped playing cards: he’s in the middle of a card game. His arm and shoulders are brightly lit but his face is all in shadow. He’s wearing a delicately patterned yellow silk shirt with oversized cuffs, a white cape, wide gold bracelet, and chunky gold ring. The background is dark gray.]
