Because Twitter embeds have been being so difficult lately, I’ve turned to our old pal Storify to serve up the last batch of weekly tweets. And yes, I may have gone overboard on the #NerdDrinks hashtag, but how could I not… Head beneath the cut for the goods!
#NubProbeCVI is coming: Last week’s best #StarWars and #SWEU tweets
I think we should change the hashtag #StarWarsCVI to #nubprobeCVI
— Bryan Young (@swankmotron) June 16, 2012
I believe this is what we’ll be calling the group trip to the Big Boy. There’s a Big Boy in Orlando, right?
I’d love to hang out but I’m busy going through Star Wars and digitally replacing all the lightsabers with metal swords.

Last night I dreamt Starbucks named their drinks after Star Wars characters for a day… What can I say, I have exciting dreams.
— Amy Ratcliffe (@amy_geek) June 12, 2012
Macchiato the Hutt!
Watched the “extended” Return of the Jedi last night, and I woke up with the original closing song in my head. You know, Yub Nub. #starwars
— Jared Phillips (@JaredLPhillips) June 17, 2012
In the Archives, reunited the first few SBs of the original SW opening–scattered in diff. places–to be rescanned for upcoming TBA.
— J. W. Rinzler (@jwrinzler) June 15, 2012
SBs…? Yes, I am including this because I need a translation and I didn’t think to ask at the time.
You’ll also want to check out all the suggestions on #StarWarsOrlandoFantip – we were on quite a roll the other day. More tweets below the cut!

Ewok in a box: one of the things nightmares are made of. #StarWars #YubNub twitter.com/missingwords/s…
— Matt Martin (@missingwords) June 7, 2012
It is a period of civil war. Rebel spaceships — It looks like you’re writing an opening crawl. Would you like help?
— Pablo Hidalgo (@infinata) June 8, 2012
“..if they are going to name a.. state-of-the-art army base for Fey’lya, the city named for Admiral Ackbar had better be glorious.” #SWEU
— Aaron Goins (@avgoins) June 10, 2012
A look inside Mercy Kill? (Fair warning: The ARCs are out.)
Due to Origins and other stuff, this two-week Twitter roundup may be a bit thin. Alas, life (and cons!) happen. Continue reading “Cloud Cloud City, bith: The (last two) weeks best #StarWars and #SWEU tweets.”
The pinnacle of nerd: Last week’s best #StarWars and #SWEU tweets
I wore a t-shirt with Yoda on it in public, got funny looks, and was not embarrassed. I am reaching the pinnacle of nerd. #starwars #geek
— Inyri (@inyriforge) May 20, 2012
Anyone who can invoke the Star Wars prequels to explain something ridiculous in history is okay with me
— Matt Dusenbury (@MattDusenbury) May 19, 2012
Think how boring #StarWars would be if the Empire used cloud computing instead of data tapes.
— bob calhoun (@bob_calhoun) May 16, 2012
When I retire I’m going to write a screenplay for a gritty new soap opera featuring the Ewoks from #StarWars. It’s called EastEndors.
— James Bond (@JerkBond) May 16, 2012
Cindal goes soap?
Put a load into the dryer and had to twist every dial to correct setting. I won’t lie to you: it made me feel like a Space Captain #StarWars
— Will ‘Chief’ Roberts (@willrob7) May 15, 2012
Spike was showing the prequels this weekend, so naturally Twitter chatter followed. Head beneath the cut, my padawans… Continue reading “The pinnacle of nerd: Last week’s best #StarWars and #SWEU tweets”
So… Ewan McGregor is on Twitter now
I got a chance to drive this today. I’m more a vintage car and bike man, but…… was pretty cool! Dutch. ‘Spyker.’ twitter.com/mcgregor_ewan/…
— Ewan McGregor (@mcgregor_ewan) May 9, 2012
It was nice knowing you, ladies
The best smelling tauntaun: Last week’s best #StarWars and #SWEU tweets
I wish I could just crawl inside you like a tauntaun. like a really good smelling tauntaun.
— the girlfriend (@WordsFromMyBF) May 8, 2012
Okay, it could either be sweet or kind of creepy, but it made me laugh irregardless.
Tweets by @clubjade and I are on the @SW_Celebration #SWCVI tri-fold @OCCC table display! #StarWars twitter.com/JustinL81/stat…
— Justin LaSalata (@JustinL81) May 5, 2012
WE’RE FAMOUS! I’m just kind if surprised it’s not one bitching about the lack of Celebration news, because I’m not sure I’ve tweeted all that much else.
Yes, it’s late. And I’m sorry. Below the cut: Star Wars Day, the Supermoon, the #SWEU, and, of course, snark.

Quick tweets: George approves ‘thrilling’ book; New Her Universe shirts coming May 4
George Lucas has just approved a book project that should thrill fans. Those who know are already stoked… Stay tuned…!!
— J. W. Rinzler (@jwrinzler) April 26, 2012
What could it be? Well, it’s Rinzler and Lucas, so probably nonfiction of some sort. Maybe another art book. We’ll find out one day.
Or maybe it’s this.
Meanwhile, earlier…
Getting ready to go see some of our new HU @StarWars shirts that will debut on May 4th. It’s gonna be a fun day to be a Star Wars fan!
— Her Universe (@HerUniverse) April 26, 2012
One of them is likely the Dolman top. Or maybe the Ahsoka onsie? The tote bag?
Don’t Trust the Bib in Booth 23: Best #StarWars and #SWEU tweets for the past week
If the “B” in “Don’t Trust the B_ in Apartment 23” stood for “Bib Fortuna,” then MAYBE I would watch it.
— Damon Lindelof (@DamonLindelof) April 11, 2012
Watching West Coast Customs build a Darth Vader car for Lucasfilm. Can’t help but think @jediagent would have loved this.
— Allison C. (@keyofmgy) April 16, 2012
Can’t wait to see this…
Hate visiting my Rodian cousin. He smells funny, never shuts up, and always insists on shooting first #SecondaryWorldProblems #StarWars
— Squiddy Attack (@Shael_no_7) April 15, 2012
#SecondaryWorldProblems is THE hashtag from this weekend that you need to check out. Great stuff in there.
BREAKING: North Korea’s rocket has failed. Farm boy in X-Wing spotted fleeing scene. #StarWars

Current event tweet of the week! Unless you count Monday’s episode of How I Met Your Mother…
Unsung heroes of the Rebellion: Best #StarWars and #SWEU tweets for the past week
Three prequels, and Lucas still hasn’t given us any backstory on Manny Bothans, hero of the rebellion.
— Sarah Van Hollebeke (@sarahgay) April 5, 2012
Can’t believe nerds still talk about what went wrong with the SW prequels. Let’s switch to obsessing over fixing the Wolverine movie.
— Holly Campbell (@DevilMCare) April 4, 2012
George Lucas says there will never be a new Star Wars? But we already get a new Star Wars every few years! #RevisionOfTheJedi
— Chris Gaijin Hero (@cbryanjones) April 4, 2012
My finished #CloneWars heels! #StarWars twitpic.com/97e68j twitpic.com/97e601 twitpic.com/97e5ok
— Amy Ratcliffe (@amy_geek) April 8, 2012
The more I do these posts, the more it seems almost like a recap of the week in question… Holidays, Dancing Han angst, James Cameron snarking and more beneath the cut!

Han slaps first: Best #StarWars and #SWEU tweets for the past week
I’m writing a Game Of Thrones/Star Wars crossover comic. Tense stand off between Han Stark and Joffrey Vader is ended when Han slaps first.
— Tom Taylor (@TomTaylorMade) April 1, 2012
Essential Reader preview: Prince Isolder uses antlers in all of his decorating. #notreally #SWEU
— infinata (@infinata) April 1, 2012
#SWCVI programming request: @danwall88 and @jasoncfry sing a cover of Johnny Cash’s I’ve Been Everywhere with Atlas names.
— infinata (@infinata) March 30, 2012
Yup, it’s back, and we’re still recovering from April Fools… More serious (okay, mostly snarky) tweets beneath the cut, including J. W. Rinzler on Making of Return of the Jedi, Paul S. Kemp on carbonite, and more on parenting, programing, and Luke’s love life. Continue reading “Han slaps first: Best #StarWars and #SWEU tweets for the past week”
