In a wonderful parody of Wikileaks, Twitter had an explosion of Wookieleaks, a series of tweets about scandals and revelations from Star Wars. The best were written in scandal headline format, taking about "Imperial sources" and "leaked Rebel documents" while making commentary about Star Wars or tying something from a galaxy far, far way to our own political reality. I highly recommend getting on Twitter and reading some of them, or just use Google to find the best of Wookieleaks. (And yes, "wookie" isn't the correct spelling of wookiee. #wookieeleaks also exists, because Star Wars geeks are just that pedantic.)

My absolute favorite, by @armonde, sheds light on a long-standing contraversy surrounding Star Wars:

Unedited Cantina footage shows Han shooting first #wookieleaks

I decided to jump into the fun, having been inspired to write up a few of my own, some of which got retweeted (which made me happy). I'm posting them here for posterity, and to share them with non-Twitter users. Clever readers might notice that I don't seem to have much respect for the prequels, based on some of the tweets. The last one, I think, is my masterpiece.
