It sucks Pablo went dark 'cus that dude has liked a shit ton of my tweets and I don't mean to brag about that, he just did that because he actually read his replies and was super active with people. A few times he replied to shit I said 'cus he genuinely liked talking to people on there. I know most of the other people I follow never read anything I say to them but Pablo did.

I did, however, get a like from Mark, Carrie and Rian once. I do mean to brag about that. 😎
I got a like and a reply from Mark once! Rian has never replied :(

None of the Star Wars people have ever liked my stuff. Meanwhile, my boyfriend has had a tweet liked by Mark Hamill, gotten likes from almost all Star Trek: The Next Generation cast, retweeted by Gates McFadden, had a private chat with Rosalind Chao in her DMs. I am so unlucky in comparison lol.

I got retweeted by Billy Dee Williams once, after saying I'd like Lando to return for the ST. I'm pretty sure it's the only interaction I've ever had with a verified Twitter user.

You know, it's funny how liking a tweet is pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things but that shit straight up made my week.

[edit]

Found the Tweet.

If you have a gaping hole in your heart where Pablo used to reside, you can follow Matt Martin, he is pretty cool about engaging with your trash tweets too.

I want everyone to know that I am unreasonably excited for the next canon entry in the STAR WARS franchise, titled Last Christmas, starring Star Wars veteran Emilia Clarke

I don't think this is a particularly charitable interpretation of Rebels (although you are obviously entitled to your opinion). Most of the show after season 1 isn't filler, it's devoted to showing the day to day struggles of the Rebel Alliance. Unlike TCW, which doesn't really have any clear story arc and ends (or will end next year) without any real character development due to the fact that it's smushed between two other movies, Rebels has a clear story arc over the entire series and a tighter narrative focus on the Ghost crew. And Resistance is entirely filler, it has no clear plot at all and every single episode is just slice-of-life space station living. Ezra's not the most interesting character ever, but he's not a slapstick comedy character like Kaz is, and Rebels provides significant focus for other characters like Kanan, Hera, and Sabine, whereas Resistance has essentially no focus on anyone but Kaz and all the other characters are just wacky comedy characters just like he is (except Tam and Yeager, who never get any screentime). Rebels has a tone in line with the movies and TCW, while Resistance is clearly a comedy-focused series first and foremost, with almost no human drama or character development at all in its first season until the very end. Finally, Rebels also has a lot of creativity, with those fascinating crazy Filoni ideas about the Force and alien species and such, versus Resistance which is very vanilla and hasn't really introduced anything of note.

I could go on but I think Rebels is genuinely the best thing in the new canon (other than Aphra obviously) and people sell it short.

You have my laser sword.

We need more Palpatine in these posters like in the teaser poster
Seems like Palpatine is being erased from a lot of media. He is not on a single piece of boxart for any of the movie releases now. Even Revenge of the Sith for some reason C-3PO and the Death Star get prominent placement but no Sheev

Yo Resistance is good. It's ok that there is a short term tv show more targeted towards kids out there. It's not unfortunate that there's something made for kids. You will live. You are getting Mandalorian in like 4 weeks.

I'm not sure I made myself clear. There's obviously nothing wrong with a show like that being on the air for Star Wars. What I'm lamenting is that, thus far, there's been no televised content exploring the sequel era with a more mature tone. That isn't a mutually exclusive gig. Resistance can exist alongside something else. I'd be interested in seeing that something else, since we have it for other eras already.

If rumors are to be believed, it almost didn't, and may still not.

Do you mean what Jason Ward said about wondering why he hadn't heard about it in so long? Or something else?

Have to admit, it's pretty o.o; that Variety's original tip was that this show wasn't going forward. Very weird turn of events that it ended up being Gilroy stepping in like this instead.

Gilroy coming in for the save again.

You know with JJ being brought on board just a few months before TFA began filming, R1 having massive reshoots and story changes, Solo being reshot, and now TROS having last minute reshoots two months before release, production on TLJ really has been by far the smoothest, with the movie being basically finished in the summer and many months of fine tuning, completely finished in September.
