Three prequels, and Lucas still hasn’t given us any backstory on Manny Bothans, hero of the rebellion.
— Sarah Van Hollebeke (@sarahgay) April 5, 2012
Can’t believe nerds still talk about what went wrong with the SW prequels. Let’s switch to obsessing over fixing the Wolverine movie.

George Lucas says there will never be a new Star Wars? But we already get a new Star Wars every few years! #RevisionOfTheJedi

The more I do these posts, the more it seems almost like a recap of the week in question… Holidays, Dancing Han angst, James Cameron snarking and more beneath the cut!
There was some sort of holiday going on this weekend…
Little known fact: the Easter Bunny is a Jedi Master and descendant of the ancient Jedi Master Ikrit: bit.ly/HrLgDX#StarWars #SWEU

My kids said that next year they how that the Easter Wookie comes instead of the easter bunny #starwars #Chewbacca #easter

Vader won’t allow Easter up here so we have to eat our chocolate eggs under our helmets.Not easy let me tell you#starwars #vader

Dying eggs for family night. Here’s Taylor’s Tie Fighter Egg. #starwars #fb @starwars twitter.com/AlanDanielson/…

Per usual, they showed The Ten Commandants! The Charlton Heston one, because I refuse to acknowledge that any other version of the story exists.
My fav thing ever: The horn that signals Israel’s freedom is the same as the horn that calls the Ewoks to battle! #TenCommandments #starwars

What does it take to make a whole lot of Star Wars fans really mad? Make Han Solo dance, of course! Here’s a selection of some of the hilarity:
It’s good to know that with 10 studios working on Star Wars Kinect, all of them shared George Lucas’ vision of ruining Star Wars.
— Miles McCraw (@MilesMcCraw) April 4, 2012
You know, when I said I always wanted a game where I play Han Solo, I didn’t mean playing him drunkenly crotch-thrusting at Lando. #StarWars
— Coat Hanger (@gentlcoathanger) April 4, 2012
George Lucas is no longer the worst thing to happen to Star Wars. Star Wars Kinect is.
— GroundChux (@GroundChux) April 3, 2012
I wonder what it would be like if George Lucas actively tried to ruin Star Wars instead of whatever it is he thinks he’s doing now.
— tamewhale (@tamewhale) April 3, 2012
But…
However, for all my harping on #Kinect #StarWars, I will still play it, I will most likely smile and laugh, and that’s what games are for.
— urban bohemian (@urbanbohemian) April 3, 2012
I know the reviews have been awful but when I see the #StarWars Kinect advert I really want to play it. I. Just. Can’t. Help. It.
— Scott (@kneel_b4_zod) April 6, 2012
Voices of reason! Well, sort of.
I wonder if maybe George Lucas has simply been trolling everyone for the last 20 years or so, and we just haven’t caught on yet. #fb
— Scott Francis (@darkuncle) April 3, 2012
This was happening in 1977, people. Relax. #starwars youtu.be/pLTI3lejhGg
— Eric Goldman (@EricIGN) April 3, 2012
The only thing funnier than indignant SW fans is the idea that George Lucas personally approves every thing to do with the franchise.
— Charlie Brigden (@sharksarecool) April 4, 2012
George Lucas didn’t rape our childhoods. He just left us for other children. The ones who like Clone Wars-era stuff? THOSE are his kids now.
— David A. Scott (@DAScottJr) April 4, 2012
Paging Aaron Allston:
I’m just waiting for a Star Wars author to make the moves in Kinect Star Wars dance mode cannon.
— William Devereux (@MasterDevwi) April 5, 2012
And since we’re #SWEUing it up….
Erich and I are reading TOR: ANNIHILATION; we’re digging Theron and Teff’ith and the whole “spy” vibe. And we’ve got a new Hutt! (FP)
— StarWarsBooks (@DelReyStarWars) April 4, 2012
No matter what my opinion may be about recent post-RotJ #SWEU, the @DelReyStarWars guys are awesome & great ambassadors to fans.

When I can’t sleep, sometimes I think: “Well, it could be worse. You could be Chewbacca getting killed by a moon.” #starwars #perspective

At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi!Hello? I’ve revealed myself. No. Down here! I’m going all revenge on your shins #EwokSithLord

So, about the Essential Guide to Warfare…
The Essential Guide to Warfare is awesome, but I did not picture Abeloth as she’s depicted on page 234. #StarWars #SWEU
— Eric Geller (@erier2003) April 3, 2012
Then again, she would be a hard character to illustrate. The description of her in the books is really open to interpretation. #SWEU
— Eric Geller (@erier2003) April 3, 2012
Did… did EG to Warfare just drop an Animal House reference? It did. It totally did. That’s fantastic. #SWEU
— Brian (@LaneWinree) April 4, 2012
What I really dig about EG to Warfare is that it’s almost a fusion of a SW encyclopedia and a Tales Of novel. Incredibly well done #SWEU
— Brian (@LaneWinree) April 4, 2012
I have to say, Essential Guide to Warfare was surprisingly character driven. A wonderful surprise. #SWEU
— Brian (@LaneWinree) April 4, 2012
This is actually kind of neat:

The 3-D rerelease of Titanic lead to some inevitable snarking:
Heard James Cameron is pulling a George Lucas for ‘Titanic’ re-release and this time the iceberg shoots first.
— Chimptopia (@Chimpuat) April 6, 2012
Titanic is about to get a 3D re-release. George Lucas offered to help and now when the ship sinks it emits a ring of explosion.#hanshotfirst
— Adam Cannon (@adamcannonmusic) April 3, 2012
@TheStanchion There is an off chance we might see some George Lucas style edits. Boat doesnt sink, Billy Zane built Dicaprio.
— j.Bowman (@jBowmancouver) April 3, 2012
Also, hard truth:
Young men, if you think Kate Winslet is “fat” in Titanic, congratulations. You’re never getting laid.
— Scott Weinberg (@scottEweinberg) April 5, 2012
And finally, completely random hilarity:
Say what you will about George Lucas cannibalizing Star Wars, but I’d give him a pass if he made “The Mon Mothman Prophecies.”
— An Honest Ghost (@AnHonestGhost) April 5, 2012
Finally hit that parenting milestone, where my son is telling me things about #StarWars I didn’t already know.
— Michael Blanding (@michaelblanding) April 6, 2012
Is the Force George Lucas’ take on the Higgs boson if the particle was on steroids and harnessed by monks? #seriousquestion
— Ian Johnson (@IanKJohnson) April 6, 2012
I can’t wait for someone to tell me they love me, in which I will pull a Leia, and respond with “I know.” #StarWars

When elected President, Darth Vader will install a “Hate” button on Facebook. #Vader2012 #VoteVader #VaderCares #StarWars

Today in 1914, Alec Guinness was born. He played Obi-Wan in the “Star Wars,” unless George Lucas replaced him with a CGI fish or some shit.
— Disalmanac (@Disalmanac) April 2, 2012
And to go off-topic a little… I would totally watch this TV show:
Why can’t we have a show where Sally Draper and Arya Stark hit the road in a 70s muscle car and kick ass?
