You’ve never heard of the Millennium Fusion? Best #StarWars, #EpisodeVII and #SWEU tweets for Feb. 18-24

@kenleyyoung: I was just asked if I could make a fast @Target run. "Fast? I'm in a car that made the last Target run in less than 12 parsecs."

Last week, we all made the Kessel Run, one lost soul sees the light, or at least the proper way to spell ‘Lucasfilm’ and the Oscars were nigh-irrelevant to our interests! (Business as usual, basically.) All this and more below the cut.

You can’t win, Darth: Best #StarWars, #EpisodeVII and #SWEU tweets for Feb. 11-17

@JR_Koban_2: If my last words aren't "And now I shall become more powerful than you could ever imagine" then I have failed as a nerd. #StarWars

Last week, the whole Han Solo thing boiled up again as it was reported that Harrison Ford is (probably) in negotiations for the sequels, Meg Cabot goes to Jedi Princess Training School and Lucasfilm is in need of a copy editor. All this and the usual nonsense below the cut.

Calamari wishes and Carbonite dreams: Best #StarWars, #EpisodeVII and #SWEU tweets for Feb. 4-10

February 12th, 2013 by Dunc · No Comments

@wonderella: Disney's filling in the gaps in the Star Wars saga! Finally we'll see Han's adventures between Empire and Return of the Jedi.

Last week, we learned that Star Wars solo films are a real thing that’s actually happening, although no one has confirmed who they’ll actually feature…. But naturally Han Solo was trending for a while because, well, the internet. (Suck it, Boba Fett!) All that and the usual below the cut.

@ericgeller: Well, that just happened: my tauntaun froze and I was only halfway to the first marker. #curseyouwinter

Someone believes Death Stars are real, the men behind Jar Jar and Gollum meet, we figured out a way to save the Super Bowl and #StarWarsSpinoffs took off. Eat your heart out, Yoda.

@BilgeEbiri: George Lucas: "In my original outline, I had always intended for JJ Abrams to direct Episode 7."

Last week, it was J.J. Abrams, J.J. Abrams and.. okay, mostly J.J. Abrams. And I promise you only one of them mentions lens flare, which is far better than the average.

Under a really big rock: Best #StarWars, #EpisodeVII and #SWEU tweets for Jan. 7-13

January 15th, 2013 by Dunc · No Comments

@BrownBias: Why does everyone say "search your feelings" in these movies. Where do you look for feelings? Under a rock? #StarWars

Last week, Twitter had some thoughts on the nature of the Force, discovered Alec Guinness’ letters, turned down the opportunity to direct Episode VII and cried a bit. Just a bit.

99 Problems: Best #StarWars, #EpisodeVII and #SWEU tweets for Dec 24-Jan. 6

@LGGoepel: I feel like being named after Princess Leia should earn me some nerd street cred, but it never does.

Yes, I’ve folded two weeks into this one, because between Christmas and the New Year it seems that most of Twitter had better things to do – and you don’t even want to know how many posts I saw where people admitting to watching Star Wars sans pants. Instead, we celebrated 100 episodes of The Clone Wars, offered wedding planning services, considered Ewok poop and more.
