This month, we got our final Rogue One trailer, learned who our new Lando is, dealt with that Rey Mary Sue bullshit again, and basically tried to keep ourselves sane. (Is it working?)
Just told 4-yr old that he's now old enough to see Star Wars, ESB, ROTJ & Force Awakens.
He looks at me, then says "It's 'A New Hope.'"— John Fugelsang (@JohnFugelsang) October 9, 2016

George Lucas created a character named "Luke" and yet Rey is the Mary Sue?
Speaks volumes about these people.

This came up earlier this week: How did we all know, decades ago, that Vader was injured by lava? A 1977 interview, and the ROTJ novel. pic.twitter.com/1vgliak9dg

Sometimes production-based answers are better than in-universe answers. Unless you prefer "Cantina aliens are Botoxed and less expressive"

Rogue One
There's a kind of Star Wars movie that fans have been dreaming of for a long long time. This december.. they're going to get it. Big time.

I will defend Return of the Jedi with my dying breath. The third act is, for me, among the very best of Star Wars. Come at me, IDGAF.

The shot where Lando rolls the Falcon up & over and INSIDE THE DEATH STAR is probably my all-time shit-my-pants movie moment as a kid. #ROTJ

Something cool about the original STAR WARS trilogy: Luke isn't a leader. He's self doubting and does his own thing. LEIA's the leader.
