I remember the good old days when Star Wars was all incest and genocide

If anyone would like to understand why Princess Leia was such a novelty when ANH came out, check out how women are portrayed in BSG.

Episode VII and such

Bet Disney is planning to release the full #EpisodeVII cast, title, plot synopsis & teaser in one mega-announcement that DESTROYS US ALL.

I love the EU, but I thought we already went through this phase of knowing the movies weren't going to be based on the books.

I'd put money on the fact that there's at least one person out there holding out hope that @TheWookieeRoars is actually playing Lowbacca.

Wookieepedia
Yes, the boob thing.
The first thought I had upon seeing that Wook breast article was "why do I even bother with this fandom." And I'm a blogger/podcaster.
— Nantooine, they're on Nantooine (@nancipants) April 4, 2014
It's very easy to feel marginalized when everything seems two steps forward, one step back. Same goes for ALL groups of people.

It's nice to know the fandom's biggest information resource is administered by a collection of twelve-year-olds.
— Brian ⚽ (@LaneWinree) April 2, 2014
No, not all all of the @WookOfficial community behave like twelve year old boys or condone those actions
— Tosche Station (@Tosche_Station) April 4, 2014
But it says volumes that @WookOfficial left it up after getting called out.
— Tosche Station (@Tosche_Station) April 4, 2014
I'm not sure I understand why @WookOfficial needs an article on breasts in Star Wars. Have they been critical to an #SWEU plot or something?
— Michael Falkner (@womprat99) April 4, 2014
Additionally, stop trying to come up with excuses for this behavior. If you know it's wrong, CALL IT OUT.
— Brian ⚽ (@LaneWinree) April 4, 2014
Fandom doesn't provide a shield from criticism when members are being assholes. Call. Them. Out.
— Brian ⚽ (@LaneWinree) April 4, 2014
Stop tolerating this behavior. Call out other fans doing this. Call out your own community doing this.
— Brian ⚽ (@LaneWinree) April 4, 2014
Controversy at @WookOfficial for ill-advised posts about female anatomy. This reflects very poorly on the #StarWars franchise. #CleanHouse
— JimmyMacRadio (@JimmyMacRadio) April 4, 2014
The @WookOfficial article is bothersome, but the rebuttals by their admins are way more offensive to #StarWars fandom in general. #Damaging
— JimmyMacRadio (@JimmyMacRadio) April 4, 2014
So apparently Return of the Jedi is listed in the "appearances" section of the Wook breast article. Really? REALLY???
— Nantooine, they're on Nantooine (@nancipants) April 7, 2014
This is why you can't have nice things, Wookieepedia.
— Nantooine, they're on Nantooine (@nancipants) April 7, 2014
And A New Hope is listed as "first appearance." Really? The first Star Wars movie is the first appearance of breasts? JFC.
— Nantooine, they're on Nantooine (@nancipants) April 7, 2014
I rather enjoy seeing that there's a nice legion of feminist and diversity-focused SW fans out there, and we're speaking up.
— Vyara (@ladydarthcaedus) April 7, 2014
I feel better now knowing "sausage" is also a Star Wars term catalogued on the Wook.

Whether @WookOfficial likes it or not, that page is now a giant neon sign screaming "misogyny" in this fandom. It needs to go.

The Expanded Universe
The only canon that matters is that which makes you happy. Don't sweat the differences between books, movies, or shows. Enjoy what you enjoy
— Bryan Young (@swankmotron) April 7, 2014
I'll say it again: the #SWEU is alive as the books sitting on your bookshelves. No one can take that. Besides robbers. Those jerks.

You know you're a Star Wars nerd when you thought the hashtag #itsallabouttheu meant the SW Expanded Universe but is actually about football

Leia interacting with Anakin Skywalker's Force ghost in Truce at Bakura is a very interesting read. Page 159 in the paperback #SWEU

Star Wars life
My 6 year-old son just told me he likes Jar-jar Binks. Not sure I've ever been more disappointed in one of his decisions. #StarWars

(Fake account, guys.)
Yay! I made it back in! :)
Oh. And the BSG to which I was referring is the original BSG.
As apposed to the sex-bots of “Syfy BSG.” #Progress
Reboot BSG at least had a variety of women: Starbuck, Laura Roslin, Tori, Callie, the Boomers, etc. There were ‘sexy’ Sixes, sure, but that wasn’t the only kind of woman the show showed, even within the Sixes themselves.
Original BSG had varied female characters, Serina, Athena, Cassiopeia, Sheba. I always thought they were strong characters.
