Last week was pretty eventful, as we got our first look at an Episode VII set (and creature!) and a couple of names on the first spin-off film. Plus, the Weekends continued, Star Wars turned 37 and the usual madness.
I think one of the reasons I identify with #R2D2 is because he, like myself, was a projectionist. #starwars #musings

So @WarwickADavis and I did a "Nahhhh, these can't be the droids we're looking for" face before motorcade;) #SWW2014 pic.twitter.com/ekAX3ObCen

#RealTalk: @starwars has completely fucked up the way I pronounce the word "unnatural".

Han's look of regret when he's being lowered into the Carbonite is amazing. Harrison Ford better bring that in VII. #StarWars

Real Star Wars Day
Star Wars is 37 years old today and somewhere in the world, in the care of a very talented group of people, it is coming back. Can't wait.

at 11:38, I will be pressing "play" on my Laserdisc copy of "Star Wars." Because that's what I do on Star Wars day. Which is what today is.

We stood in line on this date in 1977, not knowing we were part of history in the making on the day #StarWars opened. Oh, we cut class too.

The only thing I remember about seeing SW in 1977 is coming home and playing in my pool that I was on the Death Star, about to blow up.

I'm glad Star Wars was around for two years before I was born, just enough time to get its crap together for my arrival.

Episode VII and such
For a hot second I thought "Force For Change" was the actual title of #StarWarsEpisodeVII. That was a terrible, terrible second.

They said Disney would want too much control over these new Star Wars movies, but I don't see it. pic.twitter.com/LfjU7wflcd

That little alien's old man face is just so cute. I wanna pinch his cheeks and give him a hug. #StarWars

Props to LFL for finally giving people an answer to the all-important question, "will there be ostrich merchants in this movie?"

The amazing thing about the new #StarWarsVII puppet is it looks good in broad daylight. Lots of ROTJ puppets don't look that good in light.

We finally know what's in JJ's Mystery Box: space turkeys. #StarWarsVII pic.twitter.com/qDhdfQ42mI

I know JJ Abrams likes to add a rebellious edge to the franchise he takes over, but Joe Camel in Star Wars is a bit too much!

WHAT?! How did you so-called "Star Wars fans" miss this???!! pic.twitter.com/FpKoPxEeju

Oh, and there was that spin-off thing, too.
Until I hear otherwise I'll assume Disney has no clue what the Star Wars spinoffs should be and just hired people to make it up at they go.

If you haven't already, watch Gareth Edwards' Monsters tonight. Then let it sink in that he's directing a Star Wars movie. And get excited.

If I was @garywhitta, today I'd go to my local Comic Shop and by EVERY single bit of Jar Jar merchandise and comics – just to scare them

My feed is slightly nutty right now. Can’t keep up. Many thanks for all the kind words and well wishes. MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU ALL.

The Expanded Universe
@jenheddle I sometimes read it as “snuggler” and then it gets weird. HAN SOLO THE FAMOUS SNUGGLER

Two more Warfare Author's Cut sneak peeks, for fun: 1) Captain Lennox 2) Balmorra is actually in New Jersey. #SWEU

Star Wars life
Daycare lady: Your 4-year-old pretended to be a Jedi and attacked a kid.
Right answer: It won’t happen again.

I follow a foodie & Star Wars. Result: a moment of confusion at the tweet on "EU off the rails regulating produce." Thought that was Ep. I.

No, you see, the correct viewing order is 4, 5, 1, 8, 9, 6, 3, 2, 7
— Brian (@LaneWinree) May 22, 2014
Hot. So very hot. So hot that some guy in glasses is talking to himself.
— Star Wars Character (@swcharacter) May 21, 2014
I was just smiling or chuckling at most of these… Until the last one. I burst out laughing at that one. That little guy should totally be the protagonist of the new trilogy.
My bet on the new viewing order goes as follows: 4, 5, 1, 2, 7, 8, 3, 6, 9. You know, just because. ;)
