    I'd love to read Carrie's diaries of the first film (and all others). It'd be filled with her pining over Harrison Ford and all the naughty stuff they got up to behind the scenes.

    That is the least of what kids should be leery of on her twitter...

    I think it was Conan that she brought the little penis figures to... they didn't censure her for that, she is who she always has been...

    Carrie likes bawdy humor, if Disney didn't know that going into this gig, someone didn't do their homework. I think she particularly likes to mock how Star Wars caters to male fantasies and all their insecurity surrounding it. You know what? So do I and I've been a fan of these films for a very long time.

    I don't think Disney has the guts to approach her on the subject, seems to me we're learning Disney is scared to death of their investment and the brand they have and don't do a damn thing without 9 levels of approval.

    Disney does almost nothing until a more innovating company shows them it can work, then they either buy the company or steal their idea.

    Arron Paul deleted his tweet about it, and it was a little different than the Instagram one (remember inst can be edited, tweets can not). can see the deleted tweet at http://www.twitter.com/StarWarsJunk

    Not to gripe but it seems like more than every other one of your posts ends in, "Disney is averse to taking risks because they're afraid they'll lose money." It's like yeah, we get it after the fiftieth time. I get that you segwayed into it after remarking on Fischer's twitter but at this point thats what you have to do to drive your agenda home and seems somewhat reasonable, just connect it in some thin way to whatever what was already being discussed and *shocker* hasn't been brought up a lot of times before. It's like some sort of crusade you're on and it's getting tiring.

    Thanks for being understanding, just trying to be helpful if I can, constructive criticism like yours is great but it can be repetitive and out of place in my opinion.

    disgusting. Some how the rabble was let into the preview night, almost broke out into black friday fight scenario, guy was punched in the ribs so they could steal his spot in the hasbro booth, someone fell over and people just jostled to get closer to the merch, people overwhelmed security and the people there. One guy was going to buy a black-series stormtrooper, someone was watching him and STOLE MONEY OUT OF HIS HAND!

    What a bunch of scum

    Ewan McGreggor took a lot of flack when he once said that there were some "fans" that he couldn't stand... he wasn't talking about real fans, which he has a lot of love for... THIS was the type of rabid animal he disdains, a prime example of idiocy

    Holy ... my god, that is some crazy. I feel bad for everyone who was polite and considerate at the various booths who had to put up with this nasty.

    Unfortunately, that eBay seller scum gives real Star Wars fans a poor reputation. It happens with everything these days - as soon as a new, rare product hits the shelves, those parasites are out in numbers, empty entire stores and sell it with a huge profit on eBay. It's clearly a business; yet, I highly doubt they even pay taxes.

    I can't remember if it was Mark Hamill or Ewan that said this is why they are reluctant to sign Star Wars autographs because they don't want people to run and sell it on ebay just for a profit. They would prefer it go to a real fan who appreciates it.

    I think it was Ewan, and I like that approach. Like 2 days ago somebody sold 10 autographs signed by Daisy Ridley, It's like she is a autograph factory, thats time she lost on the airport to maybe talk to real fans, just for the profit of that ebay seller.

    And it will go on as long as people continue buying them. I can't really understand the beauty in buying expensive things just because of a signature...Surely it feels amazing when the artist does the sign and you are there watching it, but just buying it from ebay? what's so special about it?
