The Personal Impact of Doctor Aphra

I’ve been a Star Wars fan since before I can even remember, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I truly felt seen by the galaxy that I loved so much. And that was due in great part to Doctor Aphra.

Neal Scanlan: J.J. Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy had decided to shoot Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) in the U.K., so it was a case of me being in the right place at the right time. Tommy Harper, who had worked with J.J. on Star Trek (2009), called me to ask if I’d be interested in meeting in London to discuss a project. He wouldn’t tell me

In Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy, Go Inside the Crucible of War

Centuries of peace and prosperity were shattered with the droid invasion of Naboo.
