@starwars-characters is one of my favorite things ive ever made. i started it on twitter in May 2021, and since then it has posted a random character every single hour with very few gaps. i brought it over to cohost in December 2022 so it could continue its mission, but there isnt anywhere else i want to take it after this. so i think this will be where it ends.

by october 1st it will have posted almost THIRTY THOUSAND star wars characters (plus 24 star trek characters) across twitter and cohost, and will finish only ~75% of the way towards its goal of posting every single documented character. its been a hilarious ride. ill miss waking up every morning and scrolling through and seeing if anything particularly funny got posted, and im devastated that it'll never get to 100%. i think that the energizer bunny is my favorite post its ever made, and that was just a month ago! though i have a soft spot for noop yeldarb was posted within the first few hours and had such a goofy name i knew this bot would be really fun

i refuse to stop it manually - im going to let it run until the bitter end. i dont know who the final star wars character post will be, but im confident itll be some random guy from star wars galaxies that no one cares about

Maybe when everyone was losing it at the passive NYT voice on Anakin's bio. My personal fave might be Brazzer. Or when I doubted the new hero shooter characters would already be on the wiki. But probably Brazzer.

I can't remember a specific character that really stands out to me, but a thing I really loved about the Cohost era of Every Star Wars Character is when a Big Name character would pop up and everyone joined together in a communal exercise of reblogging them to say 'this guy'

I was really gratified to see Ezra pop up before the end. Not that one, the other one. She's cool!

But really, I've just enjoyed the account immensely. Seeing a bleached skeleton named Bolpit Moblip pop up alongside Santa Claus or Chewbacca. Huge part of co-host for me.
