Huh. That's not somewhere I thought they'd go. What's the source on that?

Well I've just been following all the leaks on sites such as makingstarwars.net - they seem to have been pretty legit so far.

Apparently 3 separate "trusted" sources spilled the beans on what goes down in the final scene, and believe me, you DO NOT want to hunt these spoilers down because if they turn out to be true, they a describe a seriously ESB-level "gently caress I did NOT see that coming!" type of film climax). One of the details that came out of these reports (and it was just a "detail" compared to the main holky-gently caress! moment) was the identity of Adam Driver's character.

How legit are all these spoilers, has some sort of synopsis of the movie been leaked? And is there a site with all this stuff compiled?

At first wasn't that impressed by the teaser, but subsequent views I warmed up a little bit. The teaser gave too little to say one way or another. Thought the Falcon scene looked dodgy, like a well made fan animation It stood out. The screen capture looks like fan made photoshop.

I'm gonna make a strong suggestion right now that everyone avoid reading the spoilers that i'm referring to. Avoid them at all costs for the next 380+ days if possible. Take a 12 month vacation in Antarctica if need be. Because if they're real, and that's the ending of the movie, then it is imperative that all human beings should see and hear about it for the first time during the premiere of the film.

It's crazy you mention Revan because the mask he wears looks very similar to Revan's

That's pretty neat since it mirrors what happened in the EU. I read some more spoilers and the fact that they do take from the best of the EU makes me pretty happy.

I want that sith guy with the broadsword lightsaber to be something out of left field from the Legacy Cannon, imagine how spergy people would be if it was like Darth Revan and he gets to have a lightsaber duel with Luke...

In actuality I liked the little bits of teaser and am looking forward to this movie

Revan should never ever be in SW film canon. The KotOR games were a lot more nuanced than the black-andwhite films, and if we ever got Revan on the big screen (which is kind of dumb to begin with since he'd be like 4,000 years old) he'd almost definitely end up being the retarded, character-assassinated mustache-twirling evil version from the MMO.

In the concept art we’ve seen of the little droid, the adventurers are going into catacombs and the little droid leads the way. It appears to be curious and adventurous. When the little droid is not leading the way, it is standing ground beside the heroes ready for a fight. My guess is this droid is Artoo-Detoo’s daughter.

It's like how in Aliens Stan Winston added some detail to the Xenomorph heads so they weren't just a smooth dome. There's no plot reason for it, it was just a design flourish.

Nah.

The Alien domes have an under-skeleton (they do in Alien as well). The outer domes were in danger of breaking while shooting Aliens because the xenos had to jump around and stuff instead of just slowly glide walking and sitting there in the first movie, so Cameron just took the outer dome off and said "they've been alive longer than the one in the first movie so that's why they look like this."

How do I find these spoilers? I did a quick Google search but sifting through all the pages, I've no idea if I've stumbled on the right stuff or not? For reference though, I'm not a particularly huge Star Wars fan and so looking up the spoilers is more to decide whether it looks like they're doing something cool with the movies or not. Could you maybe pm me a link to the spoilers?

Here's hoping the spoiler turns out to be R2D2 is a Sith Lord all this time and ends the movie brutally killing 3CPO. Then pulls out grandma Leia in her slave outfit in front of her kids horribly scarring them for life.

First time I saw the trailer I couldn't hear the music well and the first shot almost looked like a joke, the guys head popping up so fast. Now that I've seen it in HD and can hear the music it leaves a much different impression.

It is interesting how the trailer is broken up into two parts, the new (characters, music, technology) and the old (Williams' score, Falcon, Tie fighters). On rewatches I found myself only repeating the new part of the clip, and was thinking about why. I think what gets to me the most is that, despite what happened at the end of 6, our main characters and maybe even the "Rebel" alliance seemed hosed and really focused on running away/eventually fighting back.

John Boyaga? Sweaty, scared, doesn't know what's going on *insert probe droid noise(the empire is watching you)*
Droid? Zipping along, scanning for something, lots of beeping activity, if I could assign an emotion "nervous and scared"
Biker woman? Looking back, obviously scared, zooming away from the enemy.
Xwing pilot? Stern face, flips "this poo poo is for real" switch, attack formation boys.

In contrast with the good guys, we have a couple that show, yes just like in the OT, there are more stormtroopers (bad guys) then there are of you, and they got weapons that can hurt. Alongside them you have an "I don' give a gently caress" Sith walking through a hostile environment with not normal gestures and a light saber reminiscent of an ancient weapon that seems heavy and unpredictable. All topped off with an amazingly menacing and stress inducing soundtrack (I didn't think the narration was all that great)


So I guess what I'm saying is I'm happy that it looks like we are going to get dropped right in some underdog running for their life from a menace and finally fighting back, as opposed to 2 hours of exploratory crap about showing how many different technologies and wacky creatures inhabit this galaxy!

So I'm putting my money on the ship that comes into frame after the opening crawl is the Millenium Falcon being chased by those Tie Fighters. And that whole chase that we saw a few moments of is the opening scene.

I just have a feeling they're gonna want to bring in the Falcon immediately to get the nerds on board (like they'll need it).

So what you're basically saying is more of the same old same old with scrappy rebels against an empire, an oft repeated story in cinema throughout time. I'd rather see galaxy exploration and whacky monsters with lol technology in space.

VV I'd suggest just cutting yourself off from life and living in a sensory deprivation chamber for a year and having IVs feed you.

Please look at this photo every time you support or defend war crimes. Thank you.
As a Game of Thrones fan, here's some advice to stay unspoiled if there are mega spoilers floating around:

1) Turn off all avatars and sigs
2) Avoid GBS/Reddit/Youtube comments (good advice anyway)
3) Create bookmarks to each forum to avoid seeing the FYAD title
4) Turn off PMs

That should cut down on most of your exposure to spoilers. If the twist is as big as posters here have been saying, I'm going to take every precaution to avoid them.
