So. We’ve already covered the trailer – twice! Here are the rest of last week’s tweets, as well as more trailer tweets, because really, what did you expect? (No, that’s not an invitation. Mansplaining inception has already been achieved!)
Today my four-year-old daughter told me the Millennium Falcon is a flying saucer, and now I don't know how I've gone 30 years not seeing it.

No Ewoks were harmed in the making of this film.
Okay, MANY Ewoks were harmed but in our defence they taste delicious.

Episode VII
Just think, this time a week ago none of us had eaten delicious turkey and stuffing or seen The Force Awakens trailer. So much has changed.

IT guy sends out email, says he noticed a huge lag in the network on Friday My response, "I have no clue how that happened" #TheForceAwakens

Nothing like desperately hot gluing the base of an iMac G4 to a Voit volleyball to meet sudden demand for #TheForceAwakens trailer droid.

I wanna fall asleep listening to the #StarWars trailer on loop. Hopefully I'll wake up hypnotized into talking all sith-like.

People on the internet arguing about practical lightsaber design & middle school me is sitting here like MY TIME HAS COME #TheForceAwakens

Impractical female armor: "It's just fantasy! Why are you getting so upset over boob plate?" Impractical lightsaber: "Everything is ruined!"

My dad's official statement on the new lightsaber: "It's pretty cool." #TheForceAwakens

Somewhere out there, a person who sent a drawing of a lightsaber with a hilt to Lucasfilm is on hold with a lawyer.

The thing about the lightsaber igniting at the end? It's one of the only confrontational, yet calm elements in a trailer w/lots of urgency.
— Erika (@brownjawa) December 2, 2014
Even though bad things are going to happen, I feel like the lightsaber is saying, "it's okay—I got this."

Rant of the week
I saw one of those online arguments today about whether STAR WARS ruined the great 70s movies-for-grownups boom. Of course it did! But…
— Alan Scherstuhl (@studiesincrap) December 2, 2014
…if Lucas hadn't killed the 70s something else would have. That era is the golden anomaly of Hollywood, not some lost norm.
— Alan Scherstuhl (@studiesincrap) December 2, 2014
You really think Hollywood would have kept doing downbeat, thoughtful pictures forever?
— Alan Scherstuhl (@studiesincrap) December 2, 2014
Just be glad STAR WARS was the winner/template rather than GOIN APE or SGT PEPPER or Lester's THREE MUSKETEERS

Star Wars life
Had a dream last night that Darth Vader dramatically strode into the room, lightsaber aloft…and then we had a calm discussion about work.

"I guess Yoda rides in Luke's backpack because there are no carnival rides on his planet." Talking STAR WARS with a 4-year-old girl rules.

Hi, everyone, I just learned what everyone is talking about when they say "Han shot first," so AMA I guess?

Little gal ripped off action-figure! Luke’s arm. I told her she was mixing up her Skywalkers again.

I asked Boba Fett to mail a letter but he fell in the mail box and died.
