StarWars.com has been featuring a number of important dates on both the site and through social media – and today’s is one particularly relevant for our purposes! The Facebook numbers are pretty impressive, even for the official account – More than 13,500 likes, more than a thousand shares and almost that many comments.
And, of course, without the Thrawn Trilogy, would there be a Club Jade? Probably not.
The tweet’s doing pretty well, too!

Why don’t these guys have a Tumblr yet? (If you want to reblog it there, we did the honors.)
Three days later the Berlin Wall came down. Coincidence? I think not….
Truly a great day.
@Eliz: You’re mixing something up there: The wall came down because David Hasselhoff had started to sing and the communists wanted him to stop. #TrueStory
Woohoo! *confetti*
