These past weeks, we’ve seen robots launched at comets, a very Star Wars celebrity wedding, a bunch of Rebels episodes, and even the true meaning of Star Wars. Or something. Yeah.

I like how Lando pronounced Han like "man" or "can." Even Chewie was like "WTF do you even KNOW the guy?"

Somebody just scanned me and said my Midichlorians were low. I asked him what Midichlorians were, and dude said, "Force bugs." #StarWars

Imagine hearing, "You fought in the clone wars?" for the first time in a theater, totally unadulterated with backstory.

Hmm. I don't see any estimates for the crew of the Death Star on wookiepedia. Is that bc they don't want us to know how many Luke MURDERED??

In the news…
I like that Washington Post uses an Imperial Star Destroyer to show the size of the comet Philae landed on! @StarWars pic.twitter.com/IrtThqIaTI

You can see the full graphic on the Washington Post, and parodies of this with objects from every franchise that has ever existed all over Tumblr.
But, of course, there’s this guy:

Conversation of the indiscriminate time period
Episode VII and beyond
Did a whole post on the title reveal, but here’s a late entry in the ‘Dad jokes’ category.
#EpisodeVII @OfficialWars The Force Awakens-(in a Kansas farmhouse only to discover it was all a dream)
Did I get to this joke 1st? Hope so!

AND we’re done with that. Forever. Unless Carrie says something, I guess.

There are 5,400 frames of video in the upcoming trailer for Star Wars VII, and each one shall be introduced by a YouTube trailer of its own.
— Anil Dash (@anildash) November 19, 2014
Recorded some voiceover bits for the trailer. Not sure about the line "Like a slumbering nerf, it stirs…" but I read it anyway.

"Which Phase is Han Solo: Requiem Hunter in?" A future tweet by me, I'm sure.
— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) October 28, 2014
Wow. It just dawned on me that the ORIGINAL #StarWars trilogy is essentially a PREQUEL trilogy now. Or should I say a MIDQUEL trilogy…?

Given Luminara's track record maybe she wouldn't have been such a great master for Ezra anyway. #StarWarsRebels
— Matt Martin (@missingwords) October 28, 2014
Important things to note Vader refers to Sidious as "My Master" & Inquisitor refers to Vader as "Lord Vader" #Rule of Two #StarWarsRebels
— Rebels Report (@RebelsReport) October 27, 2014
Such an Imperial move to air an episode of #StarWarsRebels called "Empire Day" on Life Day. Classic Sith.

Baron Valen Rudor. I choose to interpret this as being A+ troll Dave Filoni's confirmation that Baron Fel is out there, somewhere.

The first chapter of TARKIN has him designing a new uniform via hologram. OH EU, you don't even mind being boring.
— Da7e Gonzales (@Da7e) November 11, 2014
Alright Star Wars authors, can we just call a knife a knife and not make everything a "vibroblade." Feels so old-school EU.
— Cole Horton (@ColeHorton) November 9, 2014
I love that #Tarkin shows planets environmentally devastated by The Clone Wars. That sounds so realistic.

Okay, there has GOT to be an standardized calendar in the New SWEU, even if it starts with RotS and is called "The Year of the Sheev."

Sheeeev.
Star Wars life
The first time I told Toshi the new "Star Wars" title, he was sick with a very high fever. He may have remembered it incorrectly.
— DrewAtHitFix (@DrewAtHitFix) November 9, 2014
I realized this when he asked me today, "Daddy, when does 'Star Wars: The Force Is Awesome' come out?"
— DrewAtHitFix (@DrewAtHitFix) November 9, 2014
Met a guy who introduced himself as "My name is Luke. No relation to Skywalker." I approve that introduction. -M #StarWars

The Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer is just going to be tweets from all the Darth Vader parody accounts and my eyes are going to bleed.

As I'm rereading "Darth Plagueis", I think that Darth Nahhh is a viable title for me. Cause like, nahhh son. Maybe Darth Basic. #starwars

Ha! “The Force is Awesome.” I love that.
Excellent set of tweets from Gail Simone and co. Thanks for pulling those together.
