100 Star Wars Twitter Accounts

Twitter is a great source of news and entertainment. 

Some of the big names don't do Twitter *or at least I haven't found them; (Harrison Ford, Natalie Portman, George Lucas, etc ...) and some of the people who were and will be instrumental in bringing us Star Wars don't do Twitter either; (Ben Burtt, Rob Coleman, Michael Arndt…).  So, I've put together a pretty good list of those that are active so you can see what's going on in their world and in the Star Wars world.
