It was a week… err, a month… Of crazy rumors. And crushing boredom. And also everyone was attracted to Mark Hamill’s beard. Strange things are afoot in this fandom, man.

The car in front of me has a license plate frame that reads "My other ride destroyed Alderaan." I want to be their friend. #StarWars

Watching ESB makes you appreciate what a fantastic actor @HamillHimself is. He makes this film the success by sheer talent and belief.

This rapper on the FM waves just missed an opportunity to rhyme C-3PO in his verse and I am a little bit disappointed. #StarWars

Luke sat dying, Han's corpse at his feet. Boba Fett, very much alive, chuckled & removed his helmet.
HER helmet.
Luke gasped. "Aunt Beru?"

Episode VII and beyond
My handwriting is as terrible as JJ’s is excellent. Starting to wonder if he has a handwriting stunt double.

Those leaked Star Wars photos are NOT of Storm Troopers. There's no more Empire, those are just some cool Storm Bros. #CoolStoryStormBro
— @midnight (@midnight) August 16, 2014
The question shouldn't be "are these the new Stormtroopers". Instead we should be asking, "can they hit a target now?" #StarWarsVII

Gleeson: "Just because I'm doing #StarWars doesn't mean that'll be the thing that makes people stop me in the street." Oh, you sweet child.

While Han Solo gets new wardrobe, Luke Skywalker is doomed to the same crappy haircut.

It would be fucking AMAZING if all this STAR WARS stuff was disinformation. Like, big time hats off.

Reading comic scripts. I am happy to report that so far @jasonaaron writes very good Han/Leia banter. :)

Vader pushes lightsaber through opponent’s head. Vader stands over the corpse, pointing aggressively: “I FIND YOUR LACK OF FACE DISTURBING.”

Thoughts on Marvel reprinting Dark Horse Star Wars: Glad it's sticking around, uncomfortable they announced today, the last day of new DH.

Every now and then I'll remember that Qui-Gon Jinn gave a young and emotionally fragile Obi-Wan Kenobi a fucking rock for his birthday.

Star Wars life
Confession: for wholly too long-ass a time in the early Internet years, my best guess at what "lol" represented was a TIE fighter pictogram.

Watching StarWars w/ 10yrold. He questions Empire's strategy of orbiting planet hiding rebel moon instead of just blowing it up. Dick.

If most of the drugs in Star Wars are referred to as "spice," I'm curious what something has to do to be called a "death stick."
— Mike Ryan (@mikeryan) August 22, 2014
Drug supplier to dealer: "How many death sticks did you sell today?" Dealer: "None. I have never sold one. You named them death sticks."

I expect Darth Vader has a soft night helmet that he wears in bed.
