This week we heard a lot – A LOT – about Rogue One. Some people saw some of it, there was some press stuff… You know the drill. Also, a thread about fan theories, books, and what does Rogue One know?
(Yes! One WEEK!)

It’s interesting to me how British people all seem to call Darth Vader “Darth” on a regular basis. Like just, “Darth picked up the pan."

ESPN is promoting 10 days until #RogueOne on FB and this guy's comment is hilarious. We played sir! pic.twitter.com/kGjobwbSlP

I hope Bistan doesn't have any dialogue in #RogueOne because in my head he sounds like Joe Pesci.

Wait, is this villain from 'Rogue One' a copy of this 1977 comic book character? pic.twitter.com/Nctf4X0Ned

You know what, I hope Star Wars IS a sinister scheme to push multiculturalism onto white people.

Mantooine is the planet in Star Wars where all the MRAs live.

Thread of the week
Theorizing and speculation is a lot of fun!! It is so fun looking for clues and piecing things together and gossiping over spoilers
— slaybrams (@hansoleaux) December 7, 2016
But that's what it is: fun.
Not fact, not confirmed, not canon: fun.— slaybrams (@hansoleaux) December 7, 2016
Now it's easy to get caught up and lost in the sauce about theories (please don't dig up my pre TFA Rey Solo theories) but Star Wars…
— slaybrams (@hansoleaux) December 7, 2016
Will always fuck you up. We take it for granted, but seriously how fucking crazy is it that DARTH VADER is Luke Skywalker's father??
— slaybrams (@hansoleaux) December 7, 2016
Imagine the hordes of Luke/Leia shippers who got all the way to ROTJ and then – out of nowhere – they're twins??
— slaybrams (@hansoleaux) December 7, 2016
In most fandoms, water is wet. But in Star Wars? Water is whatever the fuck they decide it to be. We are at their mercy
— slaybrams (@hansoleaux) December 7, 2016
But the most important thing I'd like to iterate today is this: Lucasfilm doesn't owe us anything. We don't deserve jack shit
— slaybrams (@hansoleaux) December 7, 2016
Ultimately, the decisions surrounding Star Wars canon is out of our hands. So stay theorizing! Have fun out there! But don't marry anything
— slaybrams (@hansoleaux) December 7, 2016
Because as we've seen time and time again, the only thing to expect with Star Wars is the unexpected
— slaybrams (@hansoleaux) December 7, 2016
I love Star Wars. I love Star Wars no matter what. If we can find it in our hearts to love the prequels, we'll make it thru anything

Two days ago [we] showed George Lucas #RogueOne. Says Gareth Edwards: “I don’t want to put words in his mouth, but … I can die happy now.”

Rogue One
Can you imagine George Lucas calling you for half an hour to tell you how much he liked your Star Wars movie? #RogueOne
— Lucas Siegel (@LucasSiegel) December 4, 2016
It's hard to make any proclamations about ROGUE ONE when I've only seen these chunks. But they WERE delectable chunks.
— Joanna Robinson (@jowrotethis) December 4, 2016
Still grinning over that #RogueOne footage. We are in for a serious treat.
— Lucas Siegel (@LucasSiegel) December 4, 2016
And after what I've seen, I recommend Catalyst more strongly. It's not required, but it's gonna enhance the experience. #RogueOne
— Amy Ratcliffe (@amy_geek) December 4, 2016
The Rogue One footage was beautiful, loved it when they go weird and Donnie Yen is already the best new Star Wars thing.
— Eric Vespe (@EricVespe) December 4, 2016
It's funny. And touching. And emotional. But it also kicks ass.
— Bryan Young (@swankmotron) December 4, 2016
I am so here for this movie, very excited, will see it asap, but it's worth noting the female:male ratio. 1:8 pic.twitter.com/USgwdeIJrT
— Shannon Hale (@haleshannon) December 1, 2016
Can you imagine every movie that stars a man having an entirely female supporting cast to compensate?

Something that doesn't really come across in the trailer: the Deathtroopers' armor is more black chrome (ala Phasma) than black plastic. pic.twitter.com/gVcxih9wlm

if nothing else, Rogue One is going to be a very pretty movie. pic.twitter.com/YSOCBz3TEN

There's a nice tie-in between Jedi as myth to regular people in Rogue One & The Force Awakens.
Like the Templar, the religion ≠ the Knights

Someone take me to the Rogue One premier so I can touch the x-wing that is currently on Hollywood Blvd. If I’m not allowed to touch it, nvm.

I mostly shrugged re: Diego Luna but then I heard him speak on the Star Wars Show and oh okay I get it now.

Books and stuff
Catalyst having a character named Has has really been confusing. "Has had had.." is the start of an actual sentence in the book. #StarWars
— Aaron Goins (@avgoins) December 4, 2016
I'd like to thank Catalyst for ensuring that Krennic will never become my problematic fav no matter what happens in Rogue One.
— BriTee-1 (@chaosbria) December 5, 2016
galen: i love the position and this amazing kyber specimen you got me but why did you sign the card "love, daddy" ?
