In the past couple of weeks, We were.. Well, JadeConning. But then! Entertainment Weekly went all Rogue One on us. Phew. Also, a puppy.

My daughter just asked if Return of the Jedi is the one where Leia becomes the Ewok queen, so y'know, we take what we want from this life.

@eleventhirtyate One of the odd things that grew in the EU was the assumption that the characters were as famous as they are in our world.

Ima-Gun Di is definitely the best Jedi name in the history of Star Wars. Poor guy never even saw it coming.

Rogue One
For #StarWars fans, #RogueOne is just the latest pearl. For casual fans, seeing Vader in PR/ads will see them mark the calendar for Dec. 16.

If you think Disney was going to make a Vader-era Star Wars movie without Vader in it, then I don't know what to tell you. #RogueOne

If Temmin Wexley can grow up to be Greg Grunberg, I'm cool with Saw Gerrera growing up to be Forest Whittaker.

We’re seeing the Alliance come together from all sorts of different groups. A heterogeneous group. Awesome.

A thing bugging me about Rogue One are all these "cool new" ships and uniforms that we never see again in OT, which starts 10 minutes later.

I was gonna tweet the last sentence of LIFE DEBT but it's super consequential. Same with the last sentence of the prior chapter. HM.

I'm super excited for Leia POV in Life Debt, but the first time we get a Luke POV in a post-Jedi book, I'm gonna lose it.
