The usual mix of rumors, not-so-rumors, and the rest of the musings… Plus, Correct Opinions on Boba Fett!
Yes @smgulz it IS safe to assume I have a role in #StarWarsEpisodeVII – If I say more than that, JJ will have me killed.

When Episode VII rumors get me down, I remind myself that @HamillHimself's gorgeous Jedi Beard is confirmed and canon.

Dear Internet: I wanna write a licensed STAR WARS novel. Please make this happen.

Star Wars experiment: show one kid the sequel trilogy, have another kid read the #SWEU instead. See who grows up more well adjusted.

Rant du jour
You know who in the SW universe is cooler than Boba Fett? ANYONE THAT WASN'T KILLED BY ACCIDENT.
— Mike Norton (@themikenorton) September 11, 2014
Boba Fett was killed on accident by a blind man with a stick that WASN'T Daredevil. Now Han's great and all, but…
— Mike Norton (@themikenorton) September 11, 2014
Boba Fett didn't even CATCH Solo. VADER did. Fett just hung out in some garbage and followed Han's ship while wearing a cool helmet.
— Mike Norton (@themikenorton) September 11, 2014
The TRUE coolest character in Star Wars is the guy that DESIGNED that Boba Fett costume.
— Mike Norton (@themikenorton) September 11, 2014
Not since the marketing campaign for Snakes on a Plane has a piece of garbage been so cleverly disguised. #BobaFettsCostume

Episode VII and beyond
MAJOR SPOILERS! BREAKING NEWS! CONFIRMED! <–I really don't think entertainment sites know what those words mean when it comes to Star Wars.
— Bria (@chaosbria) September 11, 2014
I don't like the Falcon/X-wing picture that went around today, because seeing them like that takes away from their magic. #UnpopularOpinion
— Brian (@wakingthedead17) September 10, 2014
You know the British pioneered the use of inflatable dummy tanks to fool the enemy.
I wonder if JJ is a student of World War II…
— Bryan Young (@swankmotron) September 11, 2014
My colleague’s son is an x-wing pilot extra in #StarWarsEpisodeVII & is filming today at Greenham Common. True fact. MASSIVELY jealous.
— Dan Jackson (@beesman) September 11, 2014
The J.J. note, which a lot of people think means there’ll be a third Death Star…
Does the style behind JJ's recent #StarWars note have to be the Death Star? Didn't Star Destroyers use the same lighting set up?
— Jordan Maison (@JordanMaison) September 11, 2014
Those lines reflected behind JJ's note just imply Imperial, not necessarily Death Star.
— Brian (@wakingthedead17) September 11, 2014
JJ Abrams writing notes instead of tweeting is actually brilliant. It removes him from the actual act, because he didn't write it.
— Meredith Woerner (@MdellW) September 10, 2014
Abrams remains distant, just enough, without coming off that way. Clever. Plus free press for background shit.

Guys I'm getting more excited for #EpisodeVII than I was for Episode I and that terrifies me.

Yesterday, kicked off major archives book at Skywalker. Was nice to be back.

Gotta say, A New Dawn could've been part older EU, and I mean that in a good way.
Loved it. More pumped for Rebels.
— Jonathan Maurer (@JonMaurer_Power) September 3, 2014
2 immediate reactions in reading @jjmfaraway #ANewDawn are 1) Kanan Jarrus is a smug SOB & 2) Count Denetrius Vidian is a dick. #starwars
— Matt Moore (@Guerrillascribe) September 12, 2014
I really liked Zaluna in A New Dawn. Information specialists gone rogue are my favorite. So cool, and shows a lot about the Empire.
— Megan (@blogfullofwords) September 3, 2014
i'm having trouble keeping track of all the imperial girls in this book because there are so many. WHAT A REFRESHING PROBLEM TO HAVE. #sweu
— bobs fett (@nicolecieux) September 8, 2014
I think @jjmfaraway tapped into my greatest fear in crafting Vidian: outside consultants. *shudders*
— Brian (@LaneWinree) September 4, 2014
"Caf" has already been introduced into the new Star Wars canon. This makes me happy. #SWEU pic.twitter.com/uG7eGXinDI

It feels weird to spell cookie with one E. I feel like it should be spelled like Wookiee. @clubjade @swankmotron @missingwords

Me: A bantha!

Me: It was in Episode 4
R: Episodes? What about the movies?

Important questions
Mom: "Are they gonna have all that writing at the beginning? Afterwards let's pause so you can explain what it means." #StarWars
— LosDosMos (@LosDosMos) August 29, 2014
I find it weird that Anakin wanted to build an etiquette droid for his mom. Was that REALLY something she struggled with? #starwars

Snark
Me, on the phone a minute ago: We want you back for Episode 7!
Liam: Who is this?
Me: Ha ha, j/k! But seriously, we kidnapped your daughter.

Guys, please. Disney couldn't kill the EU. That's a lot of countries and Disney doesn't have a formal army. Yet.

A nice part about going through Ep VII production in our modern era is the endless supply of snark that is provided by Twitter.
