El is a Star Wars features and news writer for Screen Rant, with a Bachelor's in Media and Entertainment Management and an MA and Ph.D. in Creative Writing. There is little she loves more than discussing her favorite movies, TV shows, and books with fellow fans. One day, she hopes to publish an original fantasy novel.
Industry Focus
Though El is a fan of many different story worlds and franchises, Star Wars is currently her favorite. As a writer for Screen Rant's Star Wars beat, she's keen to write about everything, including the Star Wars trilogies, the standalone movies, the animated and live-action shows, as well as Star Wars' tie-in novels. She's currently enjoying the High Republic books.
Favorite Media
El can find something to love in every Star Wars project, but she's an especially big fan of Star Wars Rebels, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and characters like Ezra Bridger, Kanan Jarrus, Cal Kestis, Ahsoka Tano and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
