#StarWarsDay is also the opportunity to salute and thank all those who have worked on Star Wars, at all levels, on all media, in the past as well as the present.

As we don't have a group photo of everyone (like 15.000 people lol), the famous Lucas photo will represent them. Image
Star Wars is an IP, it's a business, but it's also people who want to help tell stories.

People have written Mortis, while others are diving into politics with Andor. Some people are imagining the past of the universe, others are developing the acrobatics of Cal Kestis.
People are drawing a cartoon for young children while others are animating the Star Tours update. Artists are drawing the ships for a story we'll see in 3 years, while the folks at SW.com interview the creators of the next series.

Then Phil will write artbooks.

For the ultimate 4th of May celebration, I took these guys on a camping trip in the woods. We gathered mushrooms and veggies for a BBQ together. ImageImageImage
The fire grew too big. But, it's just AI-generated, so no worries. After enjoying our meal together, we had a good laugh around the fire before heading to our tents. Sweet dreams! ImageImageImageImage

A brief thread of appreciation on #MayThe4th #StarWarsDay of my top five favorite @starwars games from the '90s and '00s

1. Star Wars: TIE Fighter (1994) - the GOAT ImageImageImageImage
2. Star Wars Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight (1997) - spent so much time on 56k modem dial-up lightsaber-dueling with my buddies on this ImageImageImageImage
3. Star Wars: Rebellion (1998), the vastly underrated and atmospherically unparalleled Grand Strategy/Excel in Space ImageImageImageImage

Today is STAR WARS day. The original film was probably Hollywood's biggest cultural phenomenon, and the making of story is a fascinating one. #StarWarsDay #MayThe4thBeWithYou

A THREAD

1/37 ImageImageImageImage
George Lucas' first film was THX-1138 in 1971. It was a box office bomb but did pique studios' interests. UA offered Lucas a two-film deal. The first was American Graffiti. The second was what Lucas called “a space opera that’s a bit like a western, a bit like James Bond.”

2/37 ImageImageImage
Lucas’ first idea was to make an adaptation of the Flash Gordon TV series he loved as a kid. He couldn’t get the rights but still took from Flash Gordon in the Star Wars prologues…

May the Fourth be with you!

When I first learned that Taking Flight was to be published today, I had a decision to make. Sit in the corner grumping about 'that so-called "Star Wars Day"' or embrace it.

So here’s a thread of flying creatures in Star Wars.
#StarWarsDay A copy of Taking Flight on ...
First the disclaimers:
– I am not a Star Wars person. I’m not *not* a Star Wars person – I have seen some of them – but also I am not a 'Star Wars person'
– All creatures are taken from Wookieepedia
– They only qualify if they appear in the main film series
Aiwha
Massive winged cetaceans, native to the planet Kamino. Strong swimmers & flyers, they were also known as "air whales". They’re peaceful, majestic, and (sob) give out bleating cries when dying.
Given the space, I would happily adopt an aiwha. #StarWarsDay #TakingFlightBook An illustration of an Aiwha...

So #StarWars Galaxy’s Edge has been open for nearly four years, yet I did encounter a TSA quirk when traveling with my lightsabers from NYC to Orlando this morning for Galactic Starcruiser & #MayThe4th. First, let me say the agents were entirely professional and nice. Still…
I put the hilts in carry on instead of checking and they, along with assorted #StarWars greeblies & such, triggered scanners. Expectedly. But I didn’t expect them to be viewed as alien, ironically.
TSA Guy 1: What are these? Are these car parts?
Me: Lightsabers.
TSA Guy 1:…?
Me: Don’t worry, they aren’t activated.

TSA Guy 2: They’re really heavy. These aren’t light like the ones I’ve seen.

Me: Um, it’s an elegant collectible for a more civilized age?

TSA Guy 2: You need TWO of these?

Me: Well [shrugging] I don’t know. I have Jedi stuff to do…

Celebrando #StarWarsDay hilo con datos fascinantes, anécdotas sabrosas, las influencias de George Lucas desde Kurosawa a Hayao Miyazaki. ¿De dónde viene el peinado de Leia? ¿Quién fue Vader? Las conexiones de sonidos y frases en la saga y más. Que la Fuerza los acompañe 👇🎬🤘
George Lucas reconoce q "La Fortaleza Escondida" (1958) de Akira Kurosawa inspiró Stars Wars. Kurosawa cuenta historia épica de mundo en constantes guerras visto a través de dos humildes campesinos. Con C-3PO y R2-D2, Lucas narra el conflicto de la galaxia a través de dos droides
La influencia enorme de Akira Kurosawa también se deja sentir en El Mandaloriano, aquí la serie va acompañada de escenas de Yojimbo del maestro japonés.

Zum #StarWarsDay: Das politische System der Galaktischen Republik ist ein Albtraum. And here's why... 🧵(1/17)

#MayThe4thBeWithYou
Es geht ganz gut los: ein Senat (Legislative), eine Regierung mit Oberstem Kanzler (Exekutive) und Gerichte (Judikative). Bei der mehr oder weniger gut funktionierenden Gewaltenteilung hört es dann aber schon auf. (2/17)
Denn abseits davon, dass es sich im Kern um einen demokratischen Rechtsstaat handelt, fällt es unglaublich schwer das Regierungssystem zu klassifizieren. Auf nie gekannte Art & Weise vereint die Republik Präsidentialismus und Parlamentarismus (that's weird!) (3/17)

📺 Dia de celebração no mundo nerd! Hoje, dia 4 de maio, é comemorado o #StarWarsDay. Mas, você sabe por que a gente celebra a franquia nessa data?

Vem que eu te explico tudo nesse 🧶 :
📺 Uma das citações mais famosas da franquia, que se repete em vários filmes, é “Que a Força esteja com você”. Em inglês, idioma original da obra de George Lucas, a citação fica assim: “May the Force be with you”.
📺 Assim, era muito comum que os fãs da série fizessem um trocadilho com esta frase, dizendo “May the Fourth be with you". Oficialmente, a primeira celebração do Star Wars Day aconteceu em 2011, por meio de um encontro organizado por fãs da cidade de Toronto, no Canadá.

Si vous utilisez Git au quotidien, vous savez que cet outil regorge de commandes et de différentes options de configuration. Je vous propose ici de lister quelques astuces que j'utilise.

Que faites-vous en premier lorsque vous démarrer un projet de développement, qu'il soit plus ou moins gros ?

De mon côté, c'est la mise en place du versionning avec git, même pour les kata de code !

Savez-vous que vous pouvez configurer un fichier .gitgnore global sur votre poste de travail ?

94.01/ Week ninety-four, April 30-May 6, 2022, thread begins here.

Week 93 below.
94.02/ Health update: still no symptoms from my bout with COVID except for general irritability but it's impossible to know if it's different from my normal state. Isolation is lonely (big, if true) but my overall emotion is fear of making someone else sick. Dread is the worst.
94.03/ I see the #Mets won (this is a fun season so far, especially since I'm not the one getting hit by fastballs in the head) and the #NYR won and are ready for the playoffs. Best of all is post-#NFLDraft Sat. night when I get to see all the gifts my team gave me as a fan. #LGM

En el #StarWarsDay recordamos qué tienen en común Luke Skywalker, Frodo (o Bilbo, o Sam), Harry Potter o Neo de Matrix con el mismísimo Jesús, y el triunfo del Cristianismo.
Dentro HILO🧵👇 ImageImageImageImage
A la expresión “sobre el nacimiento de Cristo se funda nuestra civilización”, pronunciada la pasada Navidad por Ayuso, no le falta ni una mala asociación conceptual. La réplica más básica sería que el cristianismo se funda sobre la muerte de Jesús y la creencia en su Resurrección
...y sólo después de ello. Los evangelistas ilustrarían el mito dando así cuerpo a una secta emanada del judaísmo, siendo la corriente liderada por Pablo de Tarso la que la dotaría de su carácter universalista justamente por su helenismo (y platonismo)>>

Week 41, April 24-30 2021, below.
42.02/ I'm an NFL fan, so I don't lament these numbers, but it's a fascinating datum nonetheless. And 'watching the draft' doesn't encompass the interest people have (e.g. I couldn't watch over Shabbat, but I woulda if I coulda)
42.03/ #ReshetKeshet. I just uploaded a dvar Torah I wrote 16 years ago about this week's parsha (with connections to Avot, Ruth, and the Simpsons)

We have 3 more weeks of charity watchathons and after that, The George Lucas Talk Show will be doing "regular" weekly shows on PlanetScum.live!

6/21: Season 6 of Arli$$
6/28: Season 7 of Arli$$
7/5: @NBC1600Penn
7/12: The @GLucasTalkShow returns Image
I was reluctant to do an online version of GLTS but @GriffLightning & @patrickcotnoir convinced me that doing a #StarWarsDay show would cheer some ppl up during covid-19, and once we realized we could raise some money to help ppl, that made me feel like it was worth doing...
The watchathons have sort of helped us figure out what an online version of GLTS can be, hopefully. They will serve as a very strange bridge from the old ways (on stage at UCB) to the new (isolated in different cities via PlanetScum.live)....

Ways in which THE RISE OF SKYWALKER doesn't retcon or ignore THE LAST JEDI, and builds upon it, in big and small ways, a thread.
#1

In the opening chase sequence, Poe, Finn and Chewie are chased through lightspeed by First Order TIE Fighters. This expands upon the hyperspeed tracking that was introduced in THE LAST JEDI, & furthers the feeling that the Resistance are finding it harder & harder to survive.
#2

Rey is studying the "sacred Jedi texts" in RISE, which is a catalyst to finding the Emperor, & opens up new abilities like the Force healing that she clearly learned from studying them. In LAST JEDI we see the books on the Falcon for barely a second, but it's paid off here.
