We’re well out of the wake of SDCC, and even the actors seem to be on vacation. So this is a short one. Comparatively. Cue the tune!
As I watch THE CLONE WARS, I understand why Obi-Wan is wary of R2-D2 upon meeting Luke in Episode IV. Because R2-D2 knows EVERYTHING.

My 8-year old on her 2nd watching of #StarWars: "I like Dark Vader. But I like the princess more 'cause she's smart. But not her hair".

"Machete Order" isn't for First-Time #StarWars viewers. it's for Old-Timers looking to freshen up their 50th marathon viewing.

Truths.
Just passed Dennis Muren in the hallway. Tried to appear cool about it, failed utterly. #MTFBWY

This is what we've come to: Wall street analyst asking Disney CEO Bob Iger about Harrison Ford's ankle injury on Star Wars set

Earnings calls, man.
EpVII shooting in rural Ireland right now makes me fantasize about a Father Ted episode where JJ’s crew shows up at the parish house.

Meanwhile, Simon Pegg is what passes for big news post-SDCC.

Rebels
Releasing Star Wars in seven minute chunks is the new releasing Star Wars in two hours

Sometimes I forget how important the sound of things is to StarWars but nothing felt more like SW to me in the Rebels trailer than the sound

Believe it, #StarWars fans. Rebels is stunningly good. All new characters. 1st two episodes rank up there w/ the best episodes of #CloneWars

The Expanded Universe
I've accepted the whole Legends thing. But I got really sad the other day, thinking I'd probably never read a new Mara or L/M story again.

Well… They did kill her off. EPISODE VII: MARA’S REVENGE.
Unpleasant self-discovery: in mid-20s, still know all words to song 3PO composes for Han Solo in The Courtship of Princess Leia. #SWEU

WHAT A MAN!
Reading A New Dawn, and having seen the Rebels pilot, I love what the strategy seems to be. This is something for fans of both eras.

They 're knitting the fallout from Order 66 and the nostalgia for the Republic together with the feel and world of the classic trilogy.

And it's brilliant.

Star Wars life
When I was little my dad tried to force-feed me. After a while, my mum said, "Just use a fucking spoon, Bob. You're not a Jedi." #StarWars

You know you are a #StarWars fan when your phone suggests "lekku" as an autocorrect option

Brother-in-law trying to explain to my husband that Anakin Skywalker is Darth Vader. His bewilderment is tangible. #starwars

I just yawned and gargled at the same time. I sounded just like #Chewbacca. It was brilliant, a lifetime achievement. #StarWars

In the final year of Jedi training you have to make your own lightsaber. And a wooden birdhouse. 80% of the grades are in that birdhouse.
