As I’m writing this, multiple people have dredged up an old Star Wars Questions Thread on Twitter by @TheParkerLuck_. It looks like fun, but I’m choosing to participate in blog format, both for posterity and not to clog up everyone’s feeds. Here we go!

Wasn’t really on board with Starkiller at first… But if it’s actually Ilum that would add so much to its mythos! - Original or First Order stormtroopers?
Original will always be more iconic, I guess. Though the real answer is, of course, Imperial Hovertank Pilot. - The Force: “It’s true, all of it” or “It’s just some simple tricks and nonsense”?

Expecting it to really branch out into its own thing after TFA’s brilliant but familiar set-up. - Are you excited for the Han Solo movie?
Not really, though nearly every cast and crew member has been a great decision. It’ll turn out good. - What do you think about Alden Ehrenreich as Han Solo?

Yes, yes, yes, yes! I’ve loved Donald ever since Community, he’ll do a great job!
Holy Force, this turned out to be a bigger endeavour than I’d thought. Enjoyed it a lot though!
