Also, I just read about the Twitter debacle with Katie Lucas. I won't hold a single word against her, because anyone who would take their grievances to her is an asshole to begin with. If people came on my Facebook talking shit about my old man, I'd treat them like dirt too.
On the flip side of the same coin, wasn't she also posting tweets that could be interpreted as baiting angry fanboys?
The thing about Katie Lucas' twitter is that she seems to want to use it for both promoting Lucasfilm and, Star Wars. Yet also have the freedom of a personal account where she can pretend to be an anon and, just backlash against people.

Just FYI-- putting CGI in a movie, adding a line, or making an ewok blink does not qualify as sexual abuse, and referring to it as such

makes you a heartless bastard. I dare you to look a victim of sexual abuse in the eye and say that George Lucas raped your childhood.

Hate the movies, be mad about them, cry about them-but don't equate them with being sexually violated,

because thats not even in the realm of what happened to you. Its not cute, its not 'new' anymore, it doesn't make you look more clever
http://twitter.com/#!/KRLgrrl/status/116588901283540992
it makes you look STUPID. USE THE FUCKING DICTIONARY. RAPE IS NOT WHAT A MOVIE DID TO YOUR CHILDHOOD. End of story.

@trooperchick use the common sense your parents gave you. there is a difference between sexual abuse and changes to a movie.

@KRLgrrl Apparently you don't understand what a "figure of speech" is. Let me help you out.

@KRLgrrl In the phrase, "George Lucas' daughter seems like a hypocritical, insufferable cunt", the word "cunt" is a figure of speech.

@KRLgrrl I don't actually think you're a walking, typing vagina. See how that works?
http://twitter.com/#!/KRLgrrl/status/116619274990260226
@McSquiggins oh that was helpful. but i actually do think you're a talentless prick.
http://twitter.com/#!/McSquiggins/status/116619724070207488
@KRLgrrl Talentless? Probably. But not all of us can ride our father's coattails to fame and fortune.

@McSquiggins go shove your 'insufferable cunt' up your own insufferable cunt, you coward.

Yes what McSquiggins posted is completely unacceptable. However, she is the one that decided to not only bait things with obvious hot topic tweets. She also decided to escalate things referring to him as a "talentless prick" and, taking a stab at him for his follower count. Recently, I lost about 10 followers when, I was mainly just trying to friendly communicate with my followers. It doesn't make one a "talentless prick" for having a low follower count any more then her 2,082 followers automatically make her talented. While I don't begrudge her using her account to promote her work. It does make it more representative of what LFL allows for public representation. If it weren't for the fact that her dad is the boss she'd probably be fired by now. Regardless of public opinion escalating things and, defending her father's work are two different things. While I do feel sad that people decide to trash talk George Lucas via her accounts mentions. She's not faultless in this either.
HILARIOUS. Why she gets into it with people like that, I'll never understand. It's tempting and forgivable the first couple times, but she seems to do it a lot. My opinion is that she is baiting and antagonizing to boot. That makes her pretty unsympathetic in my book.
