Finally, a box tag that might beat the ‘slashing action’ Obi-Wan. Since last time, Hasbro woke the dragon (again,) we talked a lot about spoilers in general (no actual spoilers below,) and those Star Wars phonics workbooks got a workout. Also, a doggy!
Saw Obi Wan on the way back to my car today. He told me I must go to the Dagobah system. Damn its cold #StarWars

Looking up @SW_Celebration flights and found one that gets in at 11:38. Fate? The Force? Random chance?

"Shaved Chewbacca" was my risky Google Image Search of the day. Was surprisingly not as horrifying as it could've been. Yay!

From Star Wars, Episode VII: "It was as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, like when Jon Stewart announced his retirement."

Issue du jour: Hasbro
Basically, @HasbroNews has told those seeking more ladies in our #starwars action figures to be thankful for what we have now (not much)

Until girls are included in #StarWars toy commercials/printed ads, things will never be the way they should be.

Spoilers! (But not actual spoilers, because I’m only half an asshole. )
I basically think all Star Wars: Force Awakens spoiler reporting is the lord's work b/c JJ needs to get over his thing about spoilers.
— Annalee (@leeflower) February 17, 2015
I prefer not to be spoiled, but Abrams uses secrecy to deflect legitimate criticism (like whitwashing Khan), then says it's for his Art.
— Annalee (@leeflower) February 17, 2015
I'm not big into spoilers, but some people love them, and love consuming their media that way, and *that's okay.*
— Annalee (@leeflower) February 17, 2015
I feel like if we were getting even 20% of the lead up to TFA that we got with the prequels this thirst for spoilers would be a lot less.
— Amanda Ward (@realamandaward) February 17, 2015
I could know everything that happens in #TheForceAwakens and still enjoy or 110%. For me it's the execution that counts!
— Joshua Outred (@JOutred) February 17, 2015
Basically, if you like Spoilers, cool. Don't be a douche and openly talk about them in a public forum for those who don't want to know.
— Jesse Tschopp (@jrtschopp) February 18, 2015
And if you're anti-Spoilers, also cool. Don't be a douche and condemn the people who want to know unless they're openly blabbing about them.
— Jesse Tschopp (@jrtschopp) February 18, 2015
With a little respect towards each other, we can have it both ways: the spoiled and the not-spoiled.
— Jesse Tschopp (@jrtschopp) February 18, 2015
If TFA plays out the way @MakingStarWars says, don't forget Jason only provided us the steps of the action. It's how it's done that counts!
— Florian B (@DarthSpiriah) February 18, 2015
I feel @MakingStarWars handled it well and have plenty of warning. Other sites….need to rethink things.
— Jordan Maison (@JordanMaison) February 18, 2015
(I’ll have some more thoughts on spoilers in general soon.)
Rebels
Always get kinda weirded when Star Wars Rebs jumps to commercial & before I can fast forward that voice says "You WILL put down the remote."

Can we talk about the fact that Zare Leonis just got posted to the sector where the Death Star is being built? #StarWarsRebels #Arkanis

The Expanded Universe
It's a bit weird reading the new Marvel #StarWars comics and the Original Years Omnibus simultaneously.
— Peter Di Cicco (@PeterDiCicco) February 7, 2015
Because they both cover the same period after A New Hope, it feels like a totally plausible (but strange) alternate mirror universe.
— Peter Di Cicco (@PeterDiCicco) February 7, 2015
In a way, I kinda hope the new Marvel series does an actual "Mirror Mirror" like issue just to see the bizarre clash of universes.
