The quick guide to Star Wars on Twitter

Match the icon with the username! Okay, it's easy.

As the legion of Star Wars accounts on Twitter grows, it’s getting harder to keep track of. It’s impossible to list everyone, but here are a few accounts that may be of interest.

Please note that although we provide this page as a service to fans to find official accounts and other people they may wish to follow, we do not encourage pestering or harassing celebrities and/or other fans. Please be respectful to the celebrities and each other.

And if you’re wondering about hashtags, StarWars.com has some suggestions (though I’m not about to give up on #EpisodeVII!)

  1. You’ve neglected Nathan P. Butler, @swfanworks

    His website, starwarsfanworks.com hosts some of the best Star Wars fan Audio Dramas

    He also created and maintains the Star Wars Timeline, the TRUE essential chronology.

    He has written in the Star Wars Universe (Star Wars Tales – Equals and Opposites)

    He contributed to the new Star Wars Essential Atlas.

  2. I know who he is, but he’s also not public

    (Please include new folks as links down here: I won’t have time to update the list until this afternoon, though I will be approving comments.)

  3. As @FETTS I have done Star Wars sketch cards for Topps, custom toys for Suckadellic, and I won the ultimate Fanboys contest to be an extra in the movie. And @HCwST is my blog Hot Chicks with Stormtroopers!

  4. Thank you, Dunc for adding me to the Twitter guide! :D
