1

What three words do you think best describe Boba Fett?

SKILLED...DEADLY...INFAMOUS
 
2

What’s your favorite writing snack?

Although I love all the snacks, I’d have to go with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups as my favorite…I treat them as a reward for a job well done.
3

Favorite piece of advice in Be More Boba Fett?

BIDE YOUR TIME…There are times to fight but sometimes it comes down to knowing when not to fight.
4

Do you work best in the morning or evening?

I am a late-night tinkerer; I love to dig into a project when the rest of the world has gone to sleep. 
5

Would you rather: marathon the original trilogy, the prequels, or the sequels?

For me it has always been the original trilogies first. That’s how I saw it, that’s how I introduced it to my son. The rest is great but comes after.
6

Realistically, what job would you have in the Star Wars universe? Dream job?

Realistically I’d be somewhere between a scrapper (like Rey) and a junk dealer (like Watto). IRL I love rebuilding old bicycles, and that skill would likely put me in this field, and I’m probably too tall to be a Jawa. Dream job...bounty hunter, of course.
7

Favorite Star Wars creature or droid?

IG-88 is—hands down—my favorite droid. I still remember getting the action figure when The Empire Strikes Back came out, and I loved that he was a droid-turned-bounty hunter. I love seeing his kind reappear in season 1 of The Mandalorian in IG-11. 
8

What planet in the Star Wars galaxy would you choose to live on, if you could?

Tatooine—you know it seems like a random desert-planet in the middle of nowhere, but when I think back on it, a lot of action took place there.
