Has there been any leaks along the lines of "han solo dies in the third act?"

also it amazes me that everyone who read that leak kept it under wraps. There were no videos of people driving by the movie theater shouting it out and nobody blaring it on facebook. I was actually in awe that everyone was so respectful about not loving over other people for once.

Well yeah except for "FYAD: Han Solo dies in Episode VII" being the Forum's title for two weeks prior to release.

Leia gets ejected into space at some point and is injured. This was something planned before Fisher's passing, and people are theorizing it may be used to have her pass away rather than recover as originally planned.

Probably because nobody wanted to be a footnote in "Star Wars enthusiast, 39, slays 6 with replica samurai sword"

when you're done with post-production, you're done. unless you count marketing the film's release and showing up to the premiere?

Also that anyone who knew anything about Harrison Ford and Star Wars basically knew Han was going to die from the moment he was coming back to play him.

Hundreds of directors are able to handle pre-production on mammoth productions while they're spending every few days doing some press stuff. It is almost a natural part of the process if you decide to go down the blockbuster route.

Johnson probably wants to get something he's been working on off the ground and make that next, considering this is literally his first for-hire job (there was a time where he was trying to get commercial work - we're talking post Brothers Bloom - and nobody took to his reel). Now he can walk into any studio and go "I wanna do this" and they'll go "well you made a (probably) critically-acclaimed, gigantically successful Star Wars movie and we can use that in marketing to at least make back the costs, so here you go, have fun".

Either that or he wants to maybe take a year off, get married to Karina Longworth, and go "I don't have to worry about making money, this is pretty sweet".

Obscure to all except those well-versed in Yuuzhan Vong lore.
I think he means the kind of murky distinction about the Resistance's vs The Republic and what it means now that The Republic is 'destroyed'. Which is something explained in the canon EU but obviously most people don't read that poo poo.

Even in the newEU canon, it's a lot more convoluted than the post-Endor era used to be. Which is probably a function of requiring the storyline to eventually end up where Episode VII starts, rather than letting the EU expand naturally, but hey.

Holy poo poo that's exactly beat-for-beat like the beginning of Empire and not at all just a vague description of just the Battle of Hoth. You see, the only part that matters is the spectacular battle and not the interpersonal moments between characters or the setup for later parts of the film.

Was it ever going to be anything else though? The first order categorically knew where the resistance base was at the end of TFA, and I'm pretty sure Rian basically said 'deal with it' when asked if it was going to reprise some ideas from ESB

Since it's picking up with Luke and Rey seconds later I guess pretty much everyone else in the story is packing up and running at that time.

It doesn't sounds like there's going to be a land battle at that point, instead focusing on an orbital battle as they flee.

The ground attack with the gorilla walkers will come later when they move to Crait.

So yeah, it's similar, but it appears to feature something not really covered in ESB, and moves the ground portion to the end of the film.

So it all circles back to the Prequel era with the droids vs troopers.

I hope that part is true because it could actually lead to that droid movie David Fincher wants to make.

all desire - the thirst for oil, war, religious salvation - needs to be understood according to what he calls 'the demonogrammatical decoding of the Earth's body'
It has that silly fan desire to post hoc necessitate plot points as like a smoothing effect of the universe. Like the reason we keep building death stars, the inconsistent droid personalities, etc.
