    Is this just a temporary hiatus until Celebration or is he done for good? I don't blame him. It has to be tough being asked a million questions you can't answer.

    This is sad news! But I don't think any of us can know the sheer number of crap he had to wade through each day. This sounds like a quality of life decision.

    Well he had the patience of a saint, some pleople would freak out being asked the same questions over and over again, he should enjoy his time out and do his thing.

    How do we call that again when somebody is accused of things without further evidence?

    But the only reason I don't have the evidence is that my time machine generates such a strong magnetic field, that it erases any data on disks, drives, and even tapes!
    It's true...all of it.

    I love Pablo, and wish him well.
    I'd like to see him go back to doing more fun research articles like this:
    http://www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-mysteries-exacting-executor-measurements

    But I have a feeling he will be back at it eventually.

    Pablo (supposedly) let some info slip while on a cruise a few weeks ago, I think. I don't remember what it was exactly, but don't think it was anything big.

    It's a wonder the man lasted this long. I've read some of his exchanges with the 'fans' and, by the Force, the gall of some people. When they start correcting him or Leland Chee, I want to smack them on the head. Like @Bosc said, it's a good life decision and probably better for his work as well. I'm sure he'll come back at some point, but I don't blame him at all.

    I'm glad he is no longer answering questions on Twitter. I have felt all along that he said too much in his tweets. Takes some of the fun out of guessing and theorizing when he tells you things that are not in the movies/books/comics anywhere.

    I disagree with Pablo on a good deal of things when it comes to Star Wars, but I don't hate Pablo Hildalgo at all he is a faithful SW nerd I appreciate him for what he is. I think this is a wise move he fans should learn to wait for the books,movies and other canon content that come out.

    He's right. He gave so much of his time to ungrateful people who laughed at him because they thought their theory were brilliant ...

    You give the hand and people take the arm.
