Issue 227 of Star Wars Insider, which is the 205th installment of the Star Wars Insider publication by Titan Magazines, was released to the public on August 27, 2024.
Did the Sith Lords partake in blue milk consumption? Furthermore, if they did, could the surprising source of their intense animosity towards all things – encompassing even their own master or apprentice (select one to remove) – have been lactose intolerance? Was lactose even present within the Star Wars universe? While probably inconsequential, these are the sorts of musings that spontaneously arise within an editor's consciousness when contemplating potential content for each issue. As a result, for this particular Insider edition, I ended up assigning an in-depth analysis of the scientific principles underpinning the color blue in food, both within the galaxy far, far away and in our own world. Complete with recipes! The term "lactose" is never mentioned, leaving me still uncertain. (However, surely something had to be irritating those irritable Sith, correct?!) Star Wars: The Acolyte embarked on a journey to delve into the dark side, adopting a considerably less whimsical approach. In this issue, we engage in conversations with Amandla Stenberg (who portrayed the twin sisters Mae and Osha) and Manny Jacinto (Qimir) concerning their respective roles in the widely acclaimed Disney+ series. Additionally, we embark on a guided tour of Lucasfilm's Creature Shop, situated at Pinewood Studios, accompanied by creature effects designer Neal Scanlan, who is dedicated to mentoring his own cohort of young apprentices at the cutting-edge facility. In addition to examining the valiant endeavors of Ezra Bridger and Captain Rex, we investigate the manner in which some of the saga's most ancient planets have undergone expansion within the current era of Star Wars storytelling. Furthermore, we extend a warm welcome to a special guest writer, the award-winning author Alyssa Wong, who will be contributing to our ongoing series of The High Republic short fiction. Acquire a chilled glass of bantha milk and prepare for some excellent reading!
