I think they're underselling the significance of the Star Wars tweet. "Who are you?" is a very philosophically-loaded question. If you'll recall, it was the question the Vorlons - the Yodas of Babylon 5 - had cosmically evolved to always ask Chosen Ones. Their dark counterparts, the Shadows - who were literally called the Shadows - instead asked, "What do you want?" This perfectly encapsulated the dichotomy between the pure lawfulness (easily misinterpreted as goodness) of the Vorlons, and the pure chaos (but really just evilness) of the Shadows. REMIND YOU OF ANY ANCIENT ORDERS WE KNOW AND LOVE?

If you had asked me before reading Dan's tweet if the second installment of the third Star Wars trilogy would be the most philosophically complex third second installment in the cycle, I would've said fuck yes are you stupid? But now I can say it and really mean it. For more on the eternal cosmic dance of the Vorlons and Shadows, you should read my e-book, Lord of the Docking Rings: How Deep Space 9 Sucked the Shit Out of the Asshole of Babylon 5.
