365 Days of Star Wars Comics, Day 354: I’ll meet you coming back when the universe has expanded

So, what's this about fanatics being so uptight (short for "up their butts is way too tight") about the decanonization of the Expanded Universe that they're threatening to reveal spoilers for The Force Wakes Up?
