Fan in hospice, son got to see Rise of Skywalker early (and other news)

A dying fan at Rowans Hospice in Hampshire, England was able to see The Rise of Skywalker with his young son.

The patient said in a statement, “I just want to say the biggest thank you to everyone that has helped to make this happen. During what is just a horrible situation to be in, you have helped to make some wonderful memories and bring some joy to my family.” They’re choosing to stay “safely anonymous,” thus the helmets.

John Boyega writes Oscar Isaac a letter:

Emo Kylo Ren rules #TheForceAwakens Twitter

There is only one winner of Twitter after The Force Awakens, and it’s @KyloR3n. (Spoilers, naturally.) Discovered by The Daily Dot’s Eric Geller last night, the genius behind it remains unknown, but the laughs are, thankfully, forever. There’s a selection of spoiler-free tweets below the cut.

Han spoils first: Highlights of the #TwitterAwakens Q&A

J.J. Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy, and several of The Force Awakens’ stars were on hand today for #TwitterAwakens, a live Q&A via the @starwars Twitter. It was a crazy whirlwind, and yes, Harrison Ford dropped what may be a major spoiler – if you haven’t been paying attention. (It’s the spoiler – it’s not about Luke or anyone’s parentage, though he did spell Kylo as ‘Kilo,’ which is hilarious.)

Also, Mark Hamill trolled, and Daisy Ridley and Oscar Isaac sang a (brief) duet.

I’ve collected most of the tweets, but to see the actual questions you have to read it on Twitter. If you want to avoid Harrison’s spoiler, skim over everything from the Lupita picture (or Carrie’s “Good, I was jealous.”) until you see Harrison’s own mug (above center.)

The Star Wars Stylebook is still around

It (technically) began with a post here several years back, and last year, the @SWStylebook Twitter account was born, for those who like their Star Wars spelling and grammar as pedantic as possible. Despite some occasional periods of downtime, the Twitter account is still up and running, and I recently did an interview about it with Andy Bechtel of The Editor’s Desk.

I hope you like @ChuckWendig: Best #StarWars, #RogueOne and #SWEU tweets for March 16-25

Over the last week, we finally got our first look at Del Rey’s first post-ROTJ novel in the new canon – and a brand new, very Twitter-savvy author to go with it. We also swooned over Oscar Isaac pictures, planned for Celebration (#SWCA is the official hashtag, if that matters to you) and partook of some delicious fanboy tears. Onward!

Introducing @SWStylebook, because Twitter isn’t pedantic enough about Star Wars already

Remember our unofficial Star Wars style guide from a few years back? Well, now there’s a Twitter account, @SWStylebook, because apparently I am insane. Apparently a lot of other people are, too, because it took off like gangbusters last night and I am still a little freaked out. Please follow it and also feel free to ask/suggest stuff!

Finally, indeed. Also, apparently he tweeted that at 3 a.m. London time; Closing down the pub? In any case, this is probably the biggest tweet day I’ve seen since Disney bought Lucasfilm. How far we’ve come.
