Tweets from the Death Star: And the Winners Are…


Death_star1.png

?Everyone. Everyone is a winner — everyone who entered the Tweets from the Death Star contest, hell everyone who just read ’em. The contest had nearly 500 comments — meaning about 2500 entries, since it was five “tweets” per person — which made for a whole lot of nerdy entertainment. And I can prove it, too!

For instance, I don’t think a single TR list or article or contest has ever gotten as many tweets as this thing — 170! Second, ScifiWire was so bemused that they made their own Top 20 list out of my contest, which is actually very weird when you think about it, but whatever. Last and certainly not least, one bright lad actually started a DeathStarTweets account at Twitter, where he’s been tweeting not only the best tweets from the contest, but a few of his own. You definitely need to follow him if you’re on Twitter.

See? Told you I could prove it. Now before you hit the jump, please understand that many people did not pay strict attention (or didn’t give a shit) and just made general Star Wars tweets. I allowed these people to get Honorable Mentions, because why the hell not. Now check out some of the finest tweets to emanate from the Death Star.


Ooh — one more thing before we start — just to clarify. People who are sending the tweets are labeled as the name followed by a colon. Any name with an “@” in front of it is a person being replied to. Some entries don’t have names, just people they’re tweeting, as it were. Which is fine. A few HMs have more than one tweet listed; tweets listed directly after each other are part of a conversation, tweets separated by a space have nothing to do with each other. Anyways, on with the show.

EmpororSid: Fine, I didnt need that deathstar anyway. I’m gonna build an even bigger one with blackjack and hookers. In fact, forget the deathstar!

Okay, time for the winners. Here’s the point that I normally list some lengthy and not entirely arbitrary reasons for why I selected certain people over others. This time… not so much. For whatever reason, these tweets just made me laugh the hardest. So without further ado…

The Life Star indeed. Thanks as always to everyone who entered, as well as all the folks who twittered this contest.
