There were two three cons this weekend; WonderCon in Anaheim, AwesomeCon in D.C. and Salt Lake Comic Con Fan Xperience in, you know. Salt Lake. You may remember we got some Rebels news at WonderCon. As for the rest? What minor Star Wars character’s name sounds like a sex position? Head below the cut to find out. (Or not.)
I wonder how everything would have turned out, had that R-2 unit not had a bad motivator. I think about this way too much

I'm not sure @Dave_Filoni was impressed with my troopers choice of cosplay today ;) #StarWars #StarTrek #Wondercon http://t.co/s8wH6KZnwQ

Fun fact: the longer you stare at the word "Wookiee", the more you start doubting everything.

I don't even bother reading the crawl for Star Wars anymore. Far as I'm concerned, it just says the words "pew-pew!" over & over. #starwars

Episode VII and such
This whole Abu Dubai thing? It’s nuts.
Remember that time Tinder was a part of the biggest #StarWars leak to date? That's so hilarious.

Previewed scenes from new #StarWars movie in a dream last night. @idriselba was the bad guy but there was still too much trade politics…

No filming news forces #StarWars fans to spend countless hours, hundreds of forum posts, to discuss round metal object in Abu Dhabi desert.

New theory: they'll announce the cast of Episode VII only AFTER the whole thing is shot. It'd be the ultimate in Abrams-esque secrecy.

The fact that we still don't have a voice actor announcement for the Inquisitor is making me more and more sure that character is in Ep VII.

The Expanded Universe
Oh my god. So Tim Zahn has basically broken down every aspect of my Mara costume and praised and logic and functionality. I can die happy.

Star Wars life
My text alert is the sound of a TIE Fighter. It went off when I was working with my boss and he got super excited. #StarWars #Reppin

My 4yo just made me tuck his lightsabre into bed next to him. Even had to make sure the covers were over it *sigh* #starwars #geekfamily

Having "No worries" autocorrected to "No Wookies" is all kinds of awesome. And factual. #StarWars

Just been reminded of when my friends and I we got caught dealing vintage #StarWars figures at school… #PlasticCrack

Someone talk me out of running a #StarWars campaign in which all the villains are re-imagined Disney villains. (Darth Maleficent alone…)

So what is the record for the most times a 4 yr old has hummed the Imperial March? I bet my kid has surpassed it. #StarWars

I have a terrible secret. I didn't know Nien Nunb was a puppet until this year. #StarWars

I hope this scene is in Star Wars: Episode VII. pic.twitter.com/vgjSldCas4

Whenever people write "lol" I feel like they're trying to attack me with a tiny Tie Fighter.

Non-nerd friend just said Wedge Antilles sounds like a "crazy sex position". Not sure how to react. #StarWars @StarWars

Perhaps a better question: What minor Star Wars character’s name doesn’t sound like a sex position? (No details, please.)
Hey, there were three cons. And the entire Jeremy Bulloch foofaraw stemmed from that third one.
Cons in Far Away Places That Are Not Near Me And Thus All Blur Together.
But James and I were there, lamenting the absence of Drunc….
And I wrote that at like 9 last night, half asleep. Deal, it’s fixed.
(Crankydunc today, alrighty then.)
Btw it is called Salt Lake Comic Con Fan Xperience, or FanX for short. SLCC is later in the year. (Also no ‘city’)
Whatever. (Fixed.)
