In the past week, we pondered Bloodline, met the new Han Solo, and learned that Snoke isn’t Plagueis for the 15th billion time. Will it stick? Stay tuned.
My daughter, any time Star Wars is mentioned: "I like Princess Leia!"
Never mind that I made her in my body; that's how I know she's mine.— Jennifer de Guzman (@Jennifer_deG) May 11, 2016

Star Wars fun fact of the day: the Italian translation of womp rat is "topo gigante."

I would watch a film that's just a solid 2 hours of General Hux and General Organa being snarky to each other.

At a loss that so much happens within 5 years of TFA? The entirety of the original trilogy happens within 4 years.

The Star Wars land at Disneyland has some awesome Tatooine theming already. No wait, that's just dirt. pic.twitter.com/gx1uU9rUy6

@rianjohnson Yes but at least this time Yub-Nub is a solid gold lock.

By far the hottest Snoke take. But before you speculate, you MUST read all 6 Jedi Prince books. That's the deal. pic.twitter.com/OjYKyJH4Hv

Star Wars theorists need to back off @pablohidalgo. You're going to give him Plagueis Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Now totally sold on the theory that young Ben Solo had a Force vision of Rey wielding the Skywalker lightsaber against him. #TheForceAwakens

My daughter was watching Force Awakens. Curly haired brown girl shouts a warning from the radar: "Hey, she looks like me when I'll grow up."

Han Solo, what a man
First Oscar Isaac and Adam Driver, now Alden Ehrenreich. Lucasfilm just waits for the Coens to show them who's cool. #StarWars #HanSolo
— Angie J. Han (@ajhan) May 6, 2016
Yeah, everybody wants smuggling, Wookiees, etc, but imagine rugged young Han Solo awkwardly attempting to navigate elite Imperial society.
— Peter Di Cicco (@PeterDiCicco) May 6, 2016
If you attempt to say Alden Ehrenreich five times into a mirror, Kylo Ren will appear and run you through with a lightsaber. #HanSolo

Books and stuff
Bloodline is a testament to the Story Group. It adds so much to TFA & is such a cohesive story (unlike the EU!) A+ @pablohidalgo, @jenheddle
— Adi Gallia (@AdiGallia9) May 11, 2016
Random #StarWars Bloodline thought, now it's been out for a bit. It gave me something the EU never did: PEACE & a life for our heroes.
— Jordan Maison (@JordanMaison) May 10, 2016
Some vague post-#Bloodline thoughts–one thing we learned from the #SWEU is that content = conflict. SW is just designed that way.
— Eleven-ThirtyEight (@eleventhirtyate) May 10, 2016
If you ask for stories about a certain era, you're asking for things to go wrong. #Bloodline exists to show a big thing going very wrong.
— Eleven-ThirtyEight (@eleventhirtyate) May 10, 2016
To that end, we may end up never getting a lot of stories about the period between Jakku and BL–and I think that's maybe for the best.
— Eleven-ThirtyEight (@eleventhirtyate) May 10, 2016
@eleventhirtyate Or, it's a time for other people to take the lead to take care of smaller problems. No more galaxy-imperiled/saved by big 3
— Pablo Hidalgo (@pablohidalgo) May 10, 2016
On the notion of Bloodline “fixing” TFA: Gray is very deft at politics and characterization, but the books/comics were part of the plan.
— ♔Jay (@admiraljello) May 8, 2016
While we might’ve wished for more background in TFA, thst info was deliberately designed to be told elsewhere. But it wasn’t absent.
— ♔Jay (@admiraljello) May 8, 2016
A book written before the film even came out isn’t continuity spackle or a patch. It’s part of… distributed storytelling. Time and place.
— ♔Jay (@admiraljello) May 8, 2016
I'm glad there's no uproar over Joph's two mom's holding back all the unbridled enjoyment over Bloodline. See how it feels natural? #SWEU

Star Wars life
TIP: Doing an interpretive dance to the Star Wars Main Theme will help your teething child forget their pain. It will also leave you tired.

My 16 year old step brother broke up with his girlfriend during Star Wars because she laughed when Han Solo died

Kid: Have you seen Star Wars?
Me: Yes I have!
Kid: I'm the General!
Me: General Leia?
Dad: He likes the girl characters better.#winning— honor sachs (@drhonor) May 9, 2016

They should make a Star Wars prequel that explains the back story of that old dude in the final scene of The Force Awakens. @HamillHimself
