Did you get that thing I sent you? Best #StarWars, #EpisodeVII and #SWEU tweets for May 12-18

Last week, Episode VII filming began, the first Star Wars Weekend happened down in Orlando, and someone finally found (some) compelling evidence of who Adam Driver playing. Well, sort of. Here’s some money, go see a Star War.

Motion activated paper towel dispensers are the rare times I can feel like a Jedi knight. #StarWars

If Luke Skywalker's role in the new SW isn't basically J. Walter Weatherman & him using his fake arm to scare kids into Jedi, I quit.

"AND THAT'S WHY YOU NEVER USE THE DARK SIDE OF THE FORCE." *pans down to screaming kids looking at a detached arm writhing on the floor*

Still waiting for someone to Photoshop @KarenGillan2's hair onto all the actors sitting around for the #StarWars #EpisodeVII table read.

The #StarWarsRebels exclusive footage is so sick in the most awesome way. Looks amazing #SWW2014

Episode VII and such

Adam Driver looks an awful lot like cartoon Han Solo. Solo's evil son, perhaps? #StarWars #EpisodeVII pic.twitter.com/3I0r5Vgw4J

I like Boba Fett. But I don't need a spinoff movie about him. He's a bad guy. The spinoff will try and justify his actions/make him good.

— Steven Weintraub (@colliderfrosty) May 17, 2014

I'd rather the spinoff movies focus on areas of the STAR WARS galaxy we haven't seen and introduce new characters/locations

I keep stopping myself and saying, "They actually filmed new Star Wars material today. They might still be filming. Ack!" #Giddy

Guys, I get it. Star Wars started filming.

The Expanded Universe

When our VP of Marketing thanked retailers for supporting over 20 years of @StarWars books his voice cracked a little. We've loved the books

— Scott Allie (@ScottAllie) May 19, 2014

Ah, Luke Skywalker, a hero for our times. Such dignity, such grace, he's Mr. Rebel Ace. pic.twitter.com/pUuPluH7lM

I don't get people who don't love Union. Like… how can you not embrace and roll around in all the glorious cheese?

— Bria (@chaosbria) May 18, 2014

Seriously? We need a gritty take on the destruction of Alderaan? THEY BLEW UP THE DAMN PLANET, THAT'S NOT GRITTY ENOUGH?

— Katrina (@bedlamsbard) May 14, 2014

Sometimes I pretend to myself that Tim Zahn's #StarWars books take place in a separate continuity to the rest of the EU. It comforts me.

— Michael Pomare (@Morhek) May 12, 2014

Unwittingly saw the Han as president rumor… Now all I can think is Thrackan Sal-Solo. Thanks, #SWEU.

Star Wars life

After a day of being completely submerged in #StarWars work (not complaining), I almost just answered the phone in Huttese. #Achuta

My 3 year old recognised the Star Wars main theme on the radio in the car. Proud moment. #parentingwin #StarWars

The monkey at my work's name is Luke "because his mother chewed off his fingers when he was a baby." Not sure if sad or hilarious #starwars

— Sophia Anne (@sophiapirog) May 15, 2014

As heard in church during the children's message. "who is the best superhero?" kid's answer "Yoda!" Best kid ever!

— Shannon Hammerstrom (@purfeklilangel) May 18, 2014

Turns out, all the time I thought I was speaking in tongues I was just doing Green Greedo. #StarWars

Snark

"Star Wars Weekends" is what George Clooney and I call our jointly-hosted fight club weekends with Gwenyth, Matt Damon, and Cate Blanchett.

— Tilda WDW (@TildaInWDW) May 17, 2014

Would somebody please add a lens flare to the pic of the Episode VII clapboard? Because that shit's hilarious.

— YZ Freedman (@stoogey) May 16, 2014

Right now, somewhere, Harrison Ford has a bad feeling about this.

Also…

I'm beginning to think my sole purpose in life is to try & make a @ClubJade Tweet Round Up. #Failing #NotAsCoolAsYou #StarWars

(That only works once. I am immune to flattery and not at all cool. But remember: Hashtags.)
