Star Wars with occasional sarcasm
I love Star Wars as much as the next nerd. But let's be real, how high was George Lucas when he was coming up with character names? So high.

In under the gun, as another new year commences and we get back to our regular weekly schedule…

Disney just needs to buy loneliness and alienation and they'll own my entire childhood!

Due to the insidious influence of Santa Maul, among other things, the tweet roundup has had to go bi-weekly for the holiday season. Despite all that it was a productive couple of weeks, with the movies airing on Spike, Disney and Paramount sorting out the rights to Indiana Jones and the usual array of news, rumors and snarkage. Onward!
We have to stop worrying about the droids we're looking for, and appreciate the droids we already have. #starwars #fictiontolife #smarttruth

Last week, Artoo was confirmed for Episode VII, some people were jerks, but seriously, screw them. If you’re not down with Artoo, we have no use for you. Onward!

If they keep making Star Wars movies forever and ever, is it possible they would catch up to the present?! #starwars #EpisodeVII

We’re not going to pretend that Artoo didn’t win the week on Twitter, but… been there, done that. Here are our runners-up… And a cunning imposter. Sort of.

Last week was bonkers for Star Wars fans. We got the Episode VII release date, open call auditions and all the attendant gloating, freaking out and Holiday Special jokes. So many Holiday Special jokes

Dudes. I know it’s a Star Wars ref, but that “Judge me by my size, do you?” tee kind of sends the wrong message.

Last week we celebrated both Halloween and the one-year part of the Episode VII announcement, and the celebrations were wide and varied. Head under the cut to see how Jimmy Fallon bonded with Harrison Ford, the most important lingering question of Lost and quite possibly the cutest little Luke Skywalker ever
"The new Star Wars comes out in two years". (Luke 20:15).

In addition to the big dude himself weighing in, last week brought us Glee’s Chris Colfer with a new sexy spin on a key character, important questions about C-3PO, the internet’s thoughts on Lawrence Kasdan, conspiracy theories and crazy rumors for The Empire Strikes Back. No, really
Also, ditched Storify in light of what a pain-in-the-butt it’s been lately. Not saying we’ll never use it again, but maybe only for breaking news. As usual, the remaining tweets are under the cut. (Let’s just hope that Twitter doesn’t start pooping out next…)
Mary Franklin: Last seen in China, vicinity of toy expo. Believed to be keeping company with infamous smuggler, modified YT-1300f light freighter. Reward offered. Please inform your nearest Lucasfilm representative of any sightings directly.

The amount of skill it took to build and program C3PO as a coward is staggeringly impressive and seemingly cruel. #starwars #returnofthejedi

Last week we pondered Anakin Skywalker’s mad trolling skills, watched (or attended, or attended via cardboard avatar) NYCC and pondered how long George Lucas is keeping J.J. Abrams on the phone. All that and more, below the cut.

Last week, we waited patiently yet again, side-eyed some stuff, and celebrated Star Wars Reads Day. Or, as we call it in these parts, pretty much every day. Onward!
