No, I haven’t forgotten about the Twitter roundups, I was just busy freezing, falling and not being able to sit in a desk chair for several days. It was fantastic! In any case, the roundup is back, and it’s been busy. This installment covers the latest rumors, Marvel/Dark Horse and, of course, the ever-present freaking out whenever anyone mentions the Lucasfilm Story Group. Brace yourselves.
(On the other hand, we have wampa jokes and a chihuahua in a Chewbacca costume, so.)
The Whedon tweet above led to this adorable exchange with actress Anna Kendrick:
@josswhedon print this tweet. cover my walls in it. seal me in my tomb.

Moving on…
I know it's not canon, but sometimes I quietly sing the song "Rocket Man" while lying in bed and pretending I'm flying an X-Wing.

My attitude on speakerphones and intercoms was irrevocably defined at a very young age by Han Solo.

Star Wars Holiday
Watching III on the #StarWarsHoliday … Remembering when George first showed the finished space battle to Ewan and Hayden on tape in UK

Another III memory: cursing myself for causing a cloud of dust to fall from the rafters from the ceiling during Grievous cruiser scenes

I was up there futzing with that blasted Hyperspace webcam.

I assume Spike TV has only one employee, whose job is to rewind Star Wars and hit play again.

Episode VII and such

Last weekend’s crazy script rumors. Also no, I didn’t do any searches on “Kenobi” because I enjoy having a full head of hair.
No wonder they haven't confirmed/announced the original trio being in Episode VII seeing as how they were unsure of the scope of their roles

Lucasfilm better burn that Arndt script. If it ever gets out it will create a whole new faction of "what might have been" #StarWars fans

I hope @jwrinzler is taking notes during this @starwars madness. I’ll wait 2 decades but I’m gonna need to read about all of this eventually

So the whole Story Group thing came back up last week and sent a bunch of folks into a tizzy. I’ll get into this and the whole possibility of the EU being shunted aside (again) soon but at the moment it’s all just more of the same. For now you can catch up on the latest outburst of panic and how things stand with our old pal Bonnie Burton.

If this is the average #SWEU fan's response to the very idea of the Story Group, things are gonna get interesting. pic.twitter.com/xAknhcX7Fw

Complicated feelings today. Loved working with Dark Horse and am proud of all they did. But also looking forward to what Marvel will bring.
— Jennifer Heddle (@jenheddle) January 3, 2014
So many #StarWars feelings, today. Looking forward to what @Marvel has planned; so thankful to @DarkHorseComics. We'll always have Taris.
