This past week, a few seconds of footage drove us nuts, we wondered just how much of a fanboy Kylo Ren is, how to pronounce AT-AT canonically, and some goofiness in first class.
Uh, according to canon, her last name is "Leia" and her first name has always been "Princess."

tonights conversation pretty much went down like this
"Hey Vannessa what're you thinking about?"
"Star Wars"
"Yeah that sounds about right."

"I can't focus because Star Wars." <- my excuse for anything I don't get done between now and December 18.

Everything in moderation.
Unless that thing is @starwars, then so much Star Wars. 1,000% Star Wars. #StarWars

The important questions, answered
@DeeGoots @ballsinplay @redalert33 Since we don't say "at ert" for AT-RT or "at stuh" for AT-ST, "aytee aytee" is preferred.

Me: YES! NO!YES! NO!

It's like seriously! Do I watch as a fan on the 18th or do I take full advantage of the perks.

The Force Awakens and the sequel trilogy
Damn it, Instagram!
I wonder how large a box of tissues I need to bring to #theforceawakens, because even that instagram trailer made me almost cry.

Love the lightsabers igniting with the music. It's like 4th Of July fireworks only awesome.

I told him it was crazy, but I guess JJ is going through with his plan to roll out the movie in 15 second chunks and let fans figure it out.

It’s amazing how everything in my life can come to a screeching halt for 2-seconds of new #starwars footage. #TheForceAwakens

If the Clone Wars are WWI & the Galactic Civil War is WWII, is the fight between the Resistance & First Order Vietnam? #StarWars #ProxyWars

I'm looking forward to seeing how lightsaber battles look in TFA. Flashy like the prequels? Brute force like Vader? Something new?

Unashamedly excited about #TheForceAwakens now. Like, 9 year old, jumping about and getting sweaty excited. I am 32 years old.

When #TheForceAwakens ends, my 8-yr-old will say,'Put in next one!'
I'll reply, 'You'll have to wait, just like in the olden days' #starwars

Kylo Ren is not a Sith. (Duh.)
If Kylo Ren is used to examine fanboys and imitators of icons, JJ Abrams will have made a meta masterpiece.
— Devin Faraci (@devincf) August 25, 2015
Kylo Ren just spends his time getting in blog flamewars about who in the First Order is a secret liberal
— Abraham Riesman (@abrahamjoseph) August 25, 2015
What if the Knights of Ren are a LARPing group and this whole thing is just a huge misunderstanding? #TheForceAwakens

I know Kylo’s supposed to be the iconic villain, but the more I learn about him the more I feel like: pic.twitter.com/VnajzU7F5G

Had a dream last night where I watched a bootleg copy of #TheForceAwakens. Kylo Ren was like Hodor and could only say "Ren."

Casting rumors, oh casting rumors…
STOP TELLING ME TATIANA MASLANY MIGHT BE IN STAR WARS YOUVE ALREADY GOTTEN MY HOPES UP ONCE IM NOT FALING FOR IT AGAI

Been thinking about the SW8 casting a lot & ESB holds the answer. Main characters separated for most of movie, crucial new ones introduced.

The Expanded Universe
The film novelization canonicity issue isn't as complex as we're making it out to be. A year ago, Nar Shaddaa was Legends–until it wasn't.
— Eleven-ThirtyEight (@eleventhirtyate) September 1, 2015
So were Interdictors, and Sabacc. What we're really asking is "will this [non-film element] ever be referenced again?"
— Eleven-ThirtyEight (@eleventhirtyate) September 1, 2015
And the answer to that, in all likelihood, is that no one has any idea–so you can't blame them for being vague.
— Eleven-ThirtyEight (@eleventhirtyate) September 1, 2015
In other words, if you're an EU fan–stop advocating for canonicity and start advocating for new material.
— Eleven-ThirtyEight (@eleventhirtyate) September 1, 2015
If there's a good canon story to be told about Thrawn or Mara or whomever, I promise you they'll be happy to tell it.
