When he’s not thinking about the Magic Kingdom, Thomas is usually reading a book, becoming desperately obsessed with fictional characters, or baking something delicious (his favorite is chocolate cake -- to bake and to eat). He's a dreamer and grew up on Mulan saving the world, Jim Hawkins soaring through the stars, and Padmé Amidala fighting a Nexu. At the Parks, he loves to ride Everest, stroll down Main Street with an overstuffed pin lanyard around his neck, and eat as many Mickey-shaped ice creams as possible. His favorite character is Han Solo (yes, he did shoot first), and his favorite TV show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer except when it's One Tree Hill. He loves sandy beach walks, forest hikes, and foodie days out in the Big City. Thomas lives in England, UK, with his fiancée, baby, and their dog, a Border Collie called Luna.

A figure stands in a desolate, overgrown area, holding two red lightsabers with arms outstretched. The person is wearing a helmet and cape, adding to an ominous presence amidst the rundown, post-apocalyptic surroundings.

Star Wars currently has only one live-action TV project in development–but could all that be about to change? With no The Mandalorian Season 4 on the way (at least for now), Andor officially wrapped up, and The Acolyte unceremoniously cancelled, Lucasfilm only has Dave Filoni’s second season of Ahsoka in active development.
