As a member of the (very small) social media team here at Lucasfilm, I have the honor of reading, responding to, laughing at, loving, and sharing all of your Star Wars conversations every day. Our fans are creative, passionate, funny, and very active across the Internet; every Friday, I’ll share my favorite social media posts from the week in the Social Scanner, so show me what you’ve got!
It’s officially fall! Which means it’s officially almost Halloween, which is almost December, and almost time for The Force Awakens! Not that I’m excited or anything.
I have a feeling we’ll be seeing lots of BB-8 pumpkins this year.
Happy first day of Fall! #pumpkin #jackolantern #bb8 #starwars #autumn #episode7 #artsy #creative #photooftheday #t… pic.twitter.com/Kz8fMYyK0p

JJ said we'd get a trailer in the fall…it's technically fall until December 18… Well played, JJ. Well played. #TheForceAwakens

I’ve seen a lot of costumed pets, but never a pig! I never knew I needed this until now.
Vine was on fire this week! Here are my three favorites. Make sure you turn on the sound!
It’s a good thing Palpatine had the suit ready to go. Waiting for parts to arrive could have been a disaster.

If you ever feel down, just watch this happy grandmother celebrating the fall of the Empire!

Now, I’m going to go cue up “Yub Nub” and dance my way into the weekend. Cheers!
