Last week was bonkers for Star Wars fans. We got the Episode VII release date, open call auditions and all the attendant gloating, freaking out and Holiday Special jokes. So many Holiday Special jokes
I feel like Disney should re-date "Star Wars" a dozen more times just to screw with every other studio's distribution dept

I contend that tauntauns must be tasty even though Han Solo said they smelled bad. The wampa ate the tauntaun before Luke, right? NOM NOM.

Do the people freaking out about Star Wars' script believe that a single one of the other big summer 2015 movies has a locked script yet?

We're a little over two years away from the kind of thrilling disappointment we haven't felt since The Phantom Menace.

Original #StarWars Trilogy was my whole life as a little kid. #EpisodeVII arriving in 2015 makes me feel like that kid again.

So #StarWarsVII comes out a week before my 33rd birthday. The same age Harrison Ford was when he played Han Solo. Coincidence? #MeThinksNot

Worried about no fox fanfare before #StarWarsVII? Easy just put the MP3 on your phone and play before the movie starts.

Some of the people in line for this #StarWars casting call think that this is a Star Wars convention. I'm not assuming. I heard them say it
