Fangirls Going Rogue welcomes Amy Ratcliffe, author of Star Wars: Women of the Galaxy. She shares the experience of achieving her dream of writing a Star Wars book and gives listeners a glimpse behind the scenes of making such a beautiful book. Plus we take a look at all the delightful new publishing tie-ins to Galaxy's Edge.

For Tricia Barr's 50th birthday, Teresa Delgado and Sarah Woloski indulge their co-host on a discussion around the representation of aging in Star Wars. The movies may be for children but what are they telling them about getting older? And has the message changed over the past 40 years?

Celebration Chicago is two months away. Fangirls Going Rogue will be on the Podcast Stage! Will we see you there too?
