Not that I think it will anything like this, but pre-screening Twitter impressions are absolutely worthless poo poo. Justice League too got 95 % positive review buzz on Twitter the week before it opened. That's what influencers and reviewers are allowed to post.

There is stuff in the thread asking for spoilers, that seems pretty well lining up with the books and trailers: http://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsLeaks/comments/7itvn5/where_are_the_spoilers_at/dr1itd8

Nah, if those spoilers are right it seems to be setting up an end of the trilogy where blood isnt whats important, the inheritance of ideology is.

Can you summarize how detailed / movie ruining reading that would be?

The most memorable part of Jumper for me was when the film reel caught fire and the $1 Theater refunded our tickets. What an awful, awful movie.

That's fuckin' hilarious. I would've at least expected them to switch it to Leia dying and Luke living. WTF are they gonna do now, another creepy all-CG Leia??

It just follows the cycle since Anakin that all the Jedi-in-training are trained really loving poorly and really only given like a few days of pointers and then they die. At least the Sith have a dedicated rear end in a top hat teacher 24/7.

True enough. Wasn't a spoiler anyway.

Star Wars fans want to see themselves right to the brink of being spoiled then pull away only to do it again until they are spoiled by Luke dying and instantly filled with shame and humiliation; thinking about what their family would think if they saw them at this moment.

The entire point of this thread is to talk about the new Star Wars movie with no spoiler tags or having to dance around spoilers. If you want to do that, there's another awful star wars thread here.

For a spoiler thread, no one is actually posting spoilers and are just linking to the same made up stories.

That's all that's out there.

Currently, I'm on the side of Kylo Kills Snoke, Luke Dies, Yoda Appears, and whatever that nonsense is being legitimate, though. Mainly because no one has discredited it beyond "But the children's book doesn't say Yoda shows up!!" And someone posted the same sort of thing together with an image of entrance passes.

I think there's another lot of preview screenings today, though, so that might change when someone actually can give more concrete details.

Any 'spoiler thread' anywhere right now is a weird combination of minimal details and absolutely mental sectarian arguments about which set of minimal details you should believe. People are 'debunking' the spoilers and people are 'debunking' those explanations in turn.

Disney's got this stuff on lock. I think they've thrown a lot of noise out during the production process to obscure as much as possible someone picking out the TLJ signal so to speak.
