About Liz Declan

Liz Declan is a Senior Star Wars Writer for Screen Rant and a proud Philadelphian. She received her BA in English with a minor in Spanish and her Masters in English from Temple University, and she completed her education with an MFA in Non-Fiction at Bennington College. Although Liz's focus is Star Wars, she's involved in many fandoms, including Marvel and Disney, and she's an avid reader. You can find her Star Wars content on her TikTok page @va.va.vera

Industry Focus

Liz is a massive consumer of media with a love of movies and TV shows across genres. She particularly loves Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars. Within Star Wars, Liz especially adores the prequel trilogy and anything from the Clone Wars era. 

Favorite Media

Liz enjoys movies and TV shows above all else, but she is also an avid reader, especially when it comes to Star Wars books. However, Liz tends to also burn through a number of popular Netflix shows and new movies at record speed.
