![@Abusitron: [meeting George Lucas] I need you to settle something for me. When the weather is nice, they're just called Troopers, right?](https://i0.wp.com/clubjade.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/tweets22415.png?resize=525%2C285&ssl=1)
This week (a week!) we continued to wonder about Hasbro and their priorities, Star Wars showed up at the Oscars (sort of) and Rebels. (It it done yet?) Onward!

Jedi wear a lot of robes. All it takes is one trip and all the mystique is gone. Runway walking should be part of the Jedi trials. #StarWars

If #StarWars happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, we should be able to see Alderaan explode. #aprilponders

The Oscars
All that's really missing from the stage is the Emperor's throne… #StarWars #Oscars pic.twitter.com/CeAJVWC8dS

Lupita Nyong'o wore the pearl dress to distract everyone from asking her for Star Wars spoilers and obviously her clever ruse worked.

Once it was pointed out to me that the Oscars stage looked like the Millennium Falcon, I couldn't unsee it.

How awesome if one of those Stormtroopers is the Left Shark? #Oscars

The Force Awakens
I think in the week leading up to #TheForceAwakens a bunch of us on twitter should live tweet Ep 1-6; Have the movies fresh on our mind.

The first time the Millennium Falcon flies into view in the new #StarWars they should play "Sexy MF" by Prince.

The Mystery Box surrounding Star Wars has created an environment where the rumor mill has more power than ever to define fan expectations

Rebels
ful·crum (fo͝olkrəm,ˈfəlkrəm/) noun. The point on which a lever rests or is supported and on which it pivots. #StarWarsRebels
— Matt Martin (@missingwords) February 24, 2015
i should know better by now, but i really did not expect the SWR fandom to woobify the inquisitor.

Fun thought about the future of #StarWarsRebels: Hera could be the "someone" who told the Rebels about Lando and the Battle of Tanaab.

Is it weird the Chopper the Droid is the most deadly character on the show so far? His body count has to be up there! #StarWarsRebels
— Brandon Wayne (@The_Fleens) February 24, 2015
Someone PLEASE make it canon that astromechs tip over like goats when they're startled. @jasoncfry, I'm looking at you. #StarWarsRebels

The Expanded Universe
Two important takeaways from #StarWars #Darth Vader 2? Vader always has a plan & never underestimate the need for an astromech. Ever.

so, there’s a princess leia variant cover that doesn’t have leia on it. however, it features two male characters. pic.twitter.com/tR577GnvTw
— audrey horne (@nicolecieux) February 20, 2015
this is a title about leia’s culture and personal identity. a leia-less cover could have, idk, maybe leia's adoptive parents?
— audrey horne (@nicolecieux) February 20, 2015
instead, it has the man who tortured leia (and has a comic series of his own) and leia’s pal who has no connection to alderaan.
— audrey horne (@nicolecieux) February 20, 2015
maybe I wouldn’t be this annoyed if princess leia wasn’t SW’s only lady-centric comic. or if, you know, it wasn’t a mini-series.
— audrey horne (@nicolecieux) February 20, 2015
but as it is, this feels so insulting to a fanbase that hasn't stopped talking about gender diversity/representation since… well, forever.

Star Wars life
Just sitting here thinking about how most #StarWars weapons cauterize wounds instantly and how that would affect medical response protocol

I could hear my next door neighbours banging again so I started doing my Chewbacca impression and they stopped.

Today I learned that I'm the type of parent who searches Amazon & Google for Star Wars potty chairs.

"What are you thinking about?"
ME (thinking): I wonder if Darth Vader suffers from darthritis

“Luke, I am your father”
“Wow Dad, your breathing really cleared up. What gives?”

What the news won't tell you about Lupita Nyong’o's Oscar dress being stolen is the thief was actually looking for Star Wars spoilers.
