We last checked in with Twitter’s greatest hits for the Rogue One teaser trailer. Since then, we’ve hung out with (actual) royalty, has a brief parentage panic, and (some) even read Bloodline. All that, and a couple of Star Wars directors, under the cut.
It's been like 40 years and Ackbar still an admiral. Why is no one talking about the Mon Cal glass ceiling

The Force Awakens
The great Rey parentage panic of April 15, 2016!
I think people have made their minds up about Rey so that what anybody says outside a movie won't stop debate at all https://t.co/i30mydYQ1U

Not to turn this into an insufferable teachable moment but (there's the but) there are some questions that can only be answered by a movie.
— Pablo Hidalgo (@pablohidalgo) April 16, 2016
Okay, let me get it straight. Rey being a Skywalker & a hero is repetitive, but Kylo being a Skywalker & redeemed is not.
Okay, got it.

Rey, do us all a favor & just open an account alreadyhttps://t.co/nlOpEGokhd

Remember folks–it's not who you think Rey is that matters, it's how badly you need to be right.

I love the fact that Zuvio's absence from Star Wars has made him way more interesting and talked about than a full speaking part would've.

I take solice knowing Han MEANT to bring the Falcon in hot, and purposely used the trees for cover. The ship came to a stop in one piece.

Twitter is the only place where you can watch a random dude explain how much CGI is in “The Force Awakens” to a guy who works at ILM.

"Poe Dameron" fits suspiciously well into "O Canada."

Episode VIII
@bmoviesd do you pay for scoops asking for a friend
— Rian Johnson (@rianjohnson) April 19, 2016
Exactly how much royal lineage do you need to qualify for a "Star Wars" set visit?
— Ben Fritz (@benfritz) April 19, 2016
Yeah, I think it'll be cool if the A-wing is in Star Wars Episode VIII. But you know what would be even cooler? Getting the B-wing!

More on the royal stuff thataway.

We’re loving the #RogueOne: A @starwars Story trailer! Here’s a LEGO spin on some of the cast! #LEGO #LEGOStarWars pic.twitter.com/EVL3HoOWuS

What I love about fandom: no idea of the character's name or function but we're already slightly/majorly obsessed. #RogueOne #majesticcape

Another cool visual connection I noticed in #RogueOne trailer: Whitaker's shoulder/neck armor plates. #StarWars pic.twitter.com/GU3ZDEaYVK

Honestly, that sounds like a Star Wars character name. "This movie tells the origin of Roguwan, brave rebel spy."
— Anthony Carboni (@acarboni) April 13, 2016
If you pay close attention when Jyn says "I rebel," you can actually hear Mon Mothma's eyes rolling. LOVE IT. #RogueOne
— Andi Gutierrez (@DeeGoots) April 8, 2016
If the Rogue One teaser were real life:
"State your name for the record."
"Jyn Erso."
"So…is that 'U-R-S-O'? And is it 'J-E-N'? Or…?"— Eric Geller (@ericgeller) April 18, 2016
…And beyond
The whining about Mary Sues makes me hope that the Han Solo film follows Jason Reitman's ESB LiveRead lead and casts Ellen Page as Han Solo.

I want to make sure that @chrizmillr and @philiplord know Han Solo acts all cool but is also sort of a huge dork. I am checking in.

In one paragraph, @claudiagray makes Jabba's palace a more horrific den of unbridled killers than any #StarWars author before her.

Excited for #StarWars fans to read Bloodline. Terrific Leia portrayal, tons of action, lots of interesting stuff to mull over. SOON!

I'm just over halfway through Bloodline and guys… I'm in love.

I don't care how big a fan of #StarWars you are, it's still pretty awkward using the phrase "Outer Rim" in mixed company.
