Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
Twitter embeds are working again (apparently) but it’s too late. I’ve been seduced to Storify. There are no amazing hastag games this week, but I did find a larger-than-usual number of Star Wars life tweets. Also, the deadest Star Wars joke of the month? It’s very dead.

Because Twitter embeds have been being so difficult lately, I’ve turned to our old pal Storify to serve up the last batch of weekly tweets. And yes, I may have gone overboard on the #NerdDrinks hashtag, but how could I not… Head beneath the cut for the goods!
I think we should change the hashtag #StarWarsCVI to #nubprobeCVI

I believe this is what we’ll be calling the group trip to the Big Boy. There’s a Big Boy in Orlando, right?
I’d love to hang out but I’m busy going through Star Wars and digitally replacing all the lightsabers with metal swords.

Last night I dreamt Starbucks named their drinks after Star Wars characters for a day… What can I say, I have exciting dreams.

Macchiato the Hutt!
Watched the “extended” Return of the Jedi last night, and I woke up with the original closing song in my head. You know, Yub Nub. #starwars

In the Archives, reunited the first few SBs of the original SW opening–scattered in diff. places–to be rescanned for upcoming TBA.
— J. W. Rinzler (@jwrinzler) June 15, 2012
SBs…? Yes, I am including this because I need a translation and I didn’t think to ask at the time.
You’ll also want to check out all the suggestions on #StarWarsOrlandoFantip – we were on quite a roll the other day. More tweets below the cut!

It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships — It looks like you’re writing an opening crawl. Would you like help?

“..if they are going to name a.. state-of-the-art army base for Fey’lya, the city named for Admiral Ackbar had better be glorious.” #SWEU

A look inside Mercy Kill? (Fair warning: The ARCs are out.)
Due to Origins and other stuff, this two-week Twitter roundup may be a bit thin. Alas, life (and cons!) happen. Continue reading “Cloud Cloud City, bith: The (last two) weeks best #StarWars and #SWEU tweets.”
I wore a t-shirt with Yoda on it in public, got funny looks, and was not embarrassed. I am reaching the pinnacle of nerd. #starwars #geek

Anyone who can invoke the Star Wars prequels to explain something ridiculous in history is okay with me

Think how boring #StarWars would be if the Empire used cloud computing instead of data tapes.

When I retire I’m going to write a screenplay for a gritty new soap opera featuring the Ewoks from #StarWars. It’s called EastEndors.

Cindal goes soap?
Put a load into the dryer and had to twist every dial to correct setting. I won’t lie to you: it made me feel like a Space Captain #StarWars

Spike was showing the prequels this weekend, so naturally Twitter chatter followed. Head beneath the cut, my padawans… Continue reading “The pinnacle of nerd: Last week’s best #StarWars and #SWEU tweets”
Knowing that @bonniegrrl isn’t behind @starwars anymore is sad. I still love you Star Wars, but you broke my damn heart. #teambonnie
— Ryan Penagos (@Agent_M) May 7, 2012
When the news broke Monday that Lucasfilm has laid off Bonnie Burton, the denizens of Twitter had plenty to say… And I’m only scratching the surface here.
Why would Lucasfilm lay off @bonniegrrl, the person who best understood their revenue source and loyal fanbase? They just lost cool points.
— Gary O’Brien (@dpamac) May 7, 2012
@StarWars I’m really happy for you, and Ima let you finish, but @bonniegrrl was the best voice of @StarWars social media of all time!
— Rob Sheridan (@rob_sheridan) May 8, 2012
Lucasfilm lays off the best they EVER had at fan interaction – their “community” is worth a whole HELL of a lot less w/out @bonniegrrl
— Bobby (@FatboyRoberts) May 7, 2012
The only thing that would get me back on Twitter while still booged down in a book is the wonderful and wondrous @bonniegrrl. Good luck!

More Bonnie love – plus all that other stuff we usually do – below the cut. Continue reading “Everybody loves @Bonniegrrl: Last week’s best #StarWars and #SWEU tweets”
I wish I could just crawl inside you like a tauntaun. like a really good smelling tauntaun.
— the girlfriend (@WordsFromMyBF) May 8, 2012
Okay, it could either be sweet or kind of creepy, but it made me laugh irregardless.
Tweets by @clubjade and I are on the @SW_Celebration #SWCVI tri-fold @OCCC table display! #StarWars twitter.com/JustinL81/stat…
— Justin LaSalata (@JustinL81) May 5, 2012
WE’RE FAMOUS! I’m just kind if surprised it’s not one bitching about the lack of Celebration news, because I’m not sure I’ve tweeted all that much else.
Yes, it’s late. And I’m sorry. Below the cut: Star Wars Day, the Supermoon, the #SWEU, and, of course, snark.

Padme, when Anakin confesses that he killed ALL the Sand People, and you DON’T break up with him? Yeah, ROTS is all on you, girl friend.

Just got told by my boss that I sound like #darthvader when I concentrate. So I sound like an asthmatic sadist! Awesome. #FML #starwars

So amusing having a job where knowing offhand that it’s Jundland Wastes, not Junland, is an asset. #lifeatlucas #starwars

Remember when the Jedi were just normal people who could do extraordinary things? Yeah. Me too. #SWEU

Remember when we raked Courtship of Princess Leia over the coals because Luke was way too powerful? Some problems never go away.
Next time you are having a bad day just remember this simple fact: Everything is Jar Jar’s fault #starwars #swtor
— Not David Bass (@doctordike) April 20, 2012
Damn it, Jar Jar, stay OUT of publishing!
I think the most significant impression the Star Wars prequels had on our culture is that hipsters now rock the Jedi braid.
— Benjamin Bailey (@616Earth) April 21, 2012
No one should rock the Jedi braid. No one.
C’mon guys, can you at least tell us some #SWCVI news is coming very soon? Guests, exclusives etc?@SW_Celebration
— Gary Mancini (@Indiana_) April 21, 2012
OH, YES, PLEASE. Four months to go, and we’ve had exactly two actual announcements? Damn it, Jar Jar, our patience is beginning to fray!
Okay, okay, I’ll leave Jar Jar alone now. Continue reading “Everything is Jar Jar’s fault: Last week’s best #StarWars and #SWEU tweets”
If the “B” in “Don’t Trust the B_ in Apartment 23” stood for “Bib Fortuna,” then MAYBE I would watch it.

Watching West Coast Customs build a Darth Vader car for Lucasfilm. Can’t help but think @jediagent would have loved this.

Can’t wait to see this…
Hate visiting my Rodian cousin. He smells funny, never shuts up, and always insists on shooting first #SecondaryWorldProblems #StarWars
— Squiddy Attack (@Shael_no_7) April 15, 2012
#SecondaryWorldProblems is THE hashtag from this weekend that you need to check out. Great stuff in there.
BREAKING: North Korea’s rocket has failed. Farm boy in X-Wing spotted fleeing scene. #StarWars
