Yup, a little more board-clearing ahead of the big con. Hey, how about that Han Solo thing? Didja get all the fancasting out of your system? Please be sure you have all that fancasting out of your system, make sure your snark detector is in the upright and locked position, and… Go.

Jedi are really bad at work-life balance. No wonder they're so worried about the dark side; they burn their people out.

I wish people would discuss the real crisis in #StarWars: We're running out of decent names for Star Destroyers.

Remember that crazy day when they announced the cast out of nowhere? Wouldn't it be more fun to get the trailer that way?

"Han Solo" is now trending. I feel like Han Solo should just always be trending.

Lots of speculation about the new Hans Solo movie.
He's apparently Han's hunky cousin that *has* to be played by Chris Pratt.
— Andi Gutierrez (@DeeGoots) July 7, 2015
I think it's cute that Lawrence Kasdan is writing the Han Solo movie with his son. Like really really cute.

It's interesting that everybody assumes "Young Han Solo" means "in his 20s."

Today I'd like to put positive things on twitter, such as Han Solo's butt. pic.twitter.com/QtVbRSI8lw

What makes Han Solo work is that he is played by an actor who thinks Star Wars is stupid. It will probably be hard to find that today.

At least 15 min of “Han Solo: The Prequel” will be a teacher lecturing on parsecs as a unit of distance while Han texts in the corner.

The film will actually be about Dash Rendar assuming the mantle of Han Solo.

You simply cannot under estimate the fact #TheForceAwakens will look closer to the OT and how much that helps lure in a mainstream audience.

Man, it's difficult to be a strong, female character in the latest crop of in-canon #StarWars novels. Track record thus far is abysmal.

Can we talk about the fact that the old Marvel #StarWars comics did an issue about Old Republic era Obi-Wan? pic.twitter.com/vPiXx2iwv6

Even as envisioned by 70's Marvel comic artists, Old Republic era Obi-Wan had so much swagger. #StarWars
