This week, Candice Payne made the internet laugh, we celebrated the birthdays of Attack of the Clones and The Phantom Menace, and a lot of people still have Bloodline thoughts. Onward!
When someone asks you what's in your bag, and your response is "I'm hauling Rathtars." #StarWars #TheForceAwakens

14 is actually the perfect anniversary for Attack of the Clones because it's now really the angsty, awkward teen it's always acted like

Happy birthday, TPM! You fucked up a perfectly good child. Look at her. She’s a Star Wars now.

Asked to do some Ponda Baba Art yesterday so of course I did. Did it in old portrait photograph style. #pondababa pic.twitter.com/tcg4BXFZNr

I love how Star Wars fans can rejoice over a strange walrus man that gets his arm chopped off during his short-lived appearance on screen.

It shows just how far we've come that only 40 years ago "I'd just as soon kiss a wookiee!" wasn't considered offensive.

“Chewbacca mask lady”
@candacepayne brings joy to us all.
Ok, happy Chewbacca lady is now my favorite viral internet celebrity. Haven't laughed that hard at a clip since the quintuplets giggling.
— Zelda Williams (@zeldawilliams) May 20, 2016
Get Chewbacca mom some more #StarWars gear. And tix to the next premiere! She deserves something nice for all of the joy she's brought us.
— Megean (@WantedTweets) May 20, 2016
You just can't help but laugh with the Chewbacca lady. It's geekdom at its best.
— Kameron Hurley (@KameronHurley) May 20, 2016
seeing the beauty in a lot of things is such a good trait to have. Fully appreciate that candle, or chewbacca mask, or strawberry

Understandable mistake-They're confusing it w/ my film "THE BIG ROUGE ONE" w/ Lee Marvin-directed by Sam Fuller. https://t.co/G1LDgPFE3h

Going from Star Wars to Star Trek is called a "Reverse JJ" and is one of the trickiest gymnastic feats in all of writing.

Star Wars fandom probably has the biggest and most diverse array of single-issue voters. Which is what makes it pretty great.

Like right now, someone's entire enjoyment of the forthcoming Star Wars Land hinges on whether or not a Skipray blastboat is alluded to.

The Force Awakens
Wow. The #Ghostbusters toys just stole Kylo Ren's lightsaber and are calling him names. Why would toys do this?!? pic.twitter.com/bMxx3jlea5

The #Ghostbusters toys stole Kylo's Vader mask and now are teasing that they're remaking Star Wars with Darth Padme! pic.twitter.com/K9ffNVNUg0

i feel like kylo would be the kid that has to go to the hospital bc he broke open a glow stick and ate the glowy insides

From now on, anytime I see "Ach-To" on my twitter feed, I will now reply with "Bless you." #starwars #EpisodeVIII

Han Solo, what a man
Something I want to see in the Han Solo spinoff: Han learning how to understand Shyriiwook. Because you know that had to be hilarious.
— Amy Ratcliffe (@amy_geek) May 19, 2016
Young Han Solo won't be *quite* the character we know when we meet him, so my suggestion is he wears a denim vest, or a fleece vest.
— Brandon Bird (@Brandon_Bird) May 18, 2016
Or MAYBE young Han Solo wears a jacket, and then the sleeves are pulled off, and he decides he likes the look.

Books and stuff
That time I tried to get Lucasfilm to approve TXH as the Star Wars equivalent of THC. #boshuda #SWEU

Proofreading aurebesh on a Friday afternoon. Not a bad gig. #lifeinStarWars #lifeinpublishing
— Tom(Darth Internous) (@DarthInternous) May 13, 2016
I just read "Interlude: Hyperspace" and now I am super duper pumped for Life Debt.
— Nanci (@nancipants) May 21, 2016
han as a self-made business owner is awesome. in bloodline, it showed how he's balancing being a free spirit w/ the call of responsibility.
— general organa (@nicolecieux) May 20, 2016
One thing I learned from reading Bloodline.. the correct way to refer to a group of Toydarians is a flock. #StarWars

Bail Organa on Alderaan, Alderaan gets destroyed. Bail Organa statue on Hosnian Prime, Hosnian Prime gets destroyed. Bail is bad luck.

We might never see Mara Jade in the new canon, but I know in my heart that Mari Amithest's time to shine is nigh.

Star Wars life
The older I get, the more I realize that Princess Leia is my one, true role model.

That moment when you see "Kessel" trending and your first thought is "OK, who did it in 11 parsecs?"

I can't find a fan edit of the Ewan McGregor Jesus movie trailer that turns it into an Obi-wan Kenobi movie and that means Satan has won.

Snark
One thing Star Wars totally gets right is that "Luke" sounds like a name an alien would have

Next year The Phantom Menace has to start paying rent. Time to grow up, millennial freeloader.
