Remember when the Jedi were just normal people who could do extraordinary things? Yeah. Me too. #SWEU

Remember when we raked Courtship of Princess Leia over the coals because Luke was way too powerful? Some problems never go away.
Next time you are having a bad day just remember this simple fact: Everything is Jar Jar’s fault #starwars #swtor

Damn it, Jar Jar, stay OUT of publishing!
I think the most significant impression the Star Wars prequels had on our culture is that hipsters now rock the Jedi braid.
— Benjamin Bailey (@616Earth) April 21, 2012
No one should rock the Jedi braid. No one.
C’mon guys, can you at least tell us some #SWCVI news is coming very soon? Guests, exclusives etc?@SW_Celebration
— Gary Mancini (@Indiana_) April 21, 2012
OH, YES, PLEASE. Four months to go, and we’ve had exactly two actual announcements? Damn it, Jar Jar, our patience is beginning to fray!
Okay, okay, I’ll leave Jar Jar alone now.
Watching the films…
The trash compactor scene in Star Wars still makes me nervous. After 50+ viewings, I’m still relieved when they survive. #StarWars

Following last nights #starwars tweet. C3P0 would fetch £22.25 at cash 4 gold. Not exactly worth his weight in gold then.

Showing A New Hope to a class of 43. 11 kids are paying attention. I’ve reached 11 kids today.

My oldest just asked if the tauntaun’s in Empire Strikes Back are boys or girls. I’m stumped on a #StarWars question, I’ve failed.

The Expanded Universe…
Heard from a reader who named her son Zayne after the #StarWars character. Very cool — but I hope the kid stays out of trouble!

Essential Reader tidbit: I got to use the phrase “scheming lothario” in one of the entries. #SWEU

Just received another brilliant batch of sketches from artist Chris Trevas for #starwars Reader’s Companion. #SWEU @infinata@Darth_Duff

I am not a fan of some of the character designs in Dawn of the Jedi. They look too much like superheroes. #SWEU #DotJ twitter.com/avgoins/status…

Folks are really loving Scourge… (Yes, I’ll link some full reviews later today. Patience.)
Weirdly enough, #Scourge reminds me a lot of those old “Tales of…” stories. All new characters, having adventures in the #SWEU. So nice.
— Chris (@VileZero) April 17, 2012
Seriously, the #SWEU one-shots this last year have all been so fantastic. Grubb’s book is just the latest in a legacy of excellence.
— Chris (@VileZero) April 17, 2012
…But not everyone is thrilled with how things are going.
AGREED w/ @illogicalRogue2 on the last episode of @StarWarsReport. I want books that go back in time & flesh out EXISTING characters! #SWEU
— Nancipants (@nancipants) April 17, 2012
I think I’ve figured out how I think of the #SWEU: NJO and onwards is a different series not set in the GFFA. All of my problems are solved.
— Shoshana B (@ryorin) April 17, 2012
Seriously, I’m fine with those stories existing, but I have a hugely negative reaction to them being #StarWars.The tone just feels off.
— Shoshana B (@ryorin) April 17, 2012
Current events: OF COURSE there was Tupac stuff. Everyone loves a visit from the dead.
Tupac never died, he was just waiting inside R2D2 to tour the world with Dr. Dre as a hologram. #starwars
— Eric Saekow (@SunbearNation) April 17, 2012
Puffy somewhere right now tryna find George Lucas’ address so he can get one of them ‘Hologram Biggie’s.
— Rusty Redenbacher(@rustymk2) April 16, 2012
Yo Hologram Tupac, I’m real happy for you and I’ma let you finish but Obi-Wan Kenobi was one of the best holograms of all time!!!!!!!
— Kanye (@Kanye) April 17, 2012
That’s not the real Kanye, BTW.
This being an election year, let’s make sure CNN gets a hold of this holographic Tupac technology.
— infinata (@infinata) April 16, 2012
…But some other stuff happened too.
If Dick Clark was a sith lord, Seacreast is looking for a new apprentice.#RIPDickClark #starwars #always2thereare

George Lucas abandons construction plan after neighborhood opposition. Now working on technology to digitally erase neighbors.

Heard NASA sent the space shuttle over DC.They used codes to fly over the city. They were older codes, but they checked out. #StarWars

Star Wars life…
I just googled “AP Style for lightsabers.” I think that makes me a #StarWars and journalism nerd all wrapped up in one.
— Allison McKinnon (@allifromcali) April 16, 2012
Just ate at Five Guys. I was nervous my Clone Troopers might turn on me when they read my order number. #StarWars twitter.com/Uncle_Spooky/s…

OMG almost 4,000 bullshit tweets about NOTHING Well ok, they’re mostly about #starwarsand how much I hate bronzer.
— Nightshade Beauty (@Nightshade_mua) April 22, 2012
I don’t consider a relationship serious until we’ve watched #starwars for three days straight and only sometimes get out of bed to pee.
— Jessica Nicole (@cumbersomeone) April 20, 2012
And your weekly dose of snark.
When your only tool is a lightsaber, every problem begins to look like I just cut off that guy’s OTHER arm.

I think that Yoda is what Kermit will look like when he’s over 900 years old. #yoda #starwars #kermitthefrog
— Giorgio C. Valentini (@GCV_ArtDirector) April 17, 2012
I think the funny part is not what george lucas has become but that we ever expected much from a man who named the fat xwing pilot “porkins”
— Your pal John Shit (@naughtysecrets) April 20, 2012
It’s not ‘lying’. It’s embellishing one’s version of events to be more socially acceptable “from a certain point of view”. #starwars

Samuel L. Jackson is now in Apple ads with Siri. As a Jedi in Star Wars, I would’ve thought he preferred working with Droids.
— Darth Vader (@DepressedDarth) April 17, 2012
And that’s a wrap. FOR NOW.
