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!
Holy Force Friday, all. This week has been a whirlwind of Star Wars fun. Let’s see how you shared it:
To Matt's Boss – please excuse him from work today as he has an acute case of the #ForceFriday Flu. – Dr. Ackbar

I have of course taken #ForceFriday as a holiday. It'll be like Christmas 1983 as an adult. In September.

In addition to your current frenzy, many fans took Force Friday as an opportunity to look back at their personal Star Wars histories:

Whether you’re getting caught up in your first round of Midnight Madness, or you’re taking a more nostalgic route, I wish you all a very happy Force Friday. May the Force be with you. I’ll leave you with this one friendly request from The Force Awakens’ John Boyega.
