Today we got a poster and a few small teasers, so here’s a small tweet roundup to hold you over. When is halftime, exactly? Also, the emojis are back! (But still not in embeds, sorry.)

(It’s halfway through the game, more or less. Tomorrow, somewhere around 10 p.m. EST, which gives those of us who don’t know what channel their ESPN is more than enough time to find it.)
Not going to the Star Wars marathon, but I will be selling catheters outside the theater. #dontmissamoment #selfcath

I don't care if the STAR WARS trailer comes with free cake, I'm not putting NFL on my TV. I live by a code.

Quick thoughts:
1) Leia's hair looks like Gary Oldman's from Dracula
2) Maz Kanata?
3) Michael Arndt is in the credit block!

Observation from my pocket physicist @DarkSapiens: if the lights are windows or hangars, that thing's actually way smaller than a Death Star

Important questions
Where's Luke? = WRONG question.
Why is Luke not there? = RIGHT question.

Luke not being on the poster doesn't mean he's not important. It means he's the MOST important.

10pm EST is about 2am GMT, which means I will be firmly in bed, sound asleep. No way in hell am I getting up for that.
… Sigh. So I’ll see everyone online at 2ish? Okay.
