    Nah, it really was the 'spoiler' angle. I cant help myself coming into this thread but I hate myself for it too.

    Probably will know all the characters and plot elements by the bloody release!

    It's so far away and so much time to spoil :(

    Dude, we're talking about Star Wars here. If there's a plot twist of the order of
    "Luke, I am your Father"
    , you can bet it will be kept well-hidden. This ain't The Usual Suspects. :cool:

    I read the book "How Star Wars Conquered the Universe" on the recommendation of another poster, and I'd strongly recommend it too. It's a fantastic read on the history of the whole franchise. Amazon link below. Required reading.

    couldnt agree more,great book.theres stuff in that book that im almost certain the most dedicated fan wouldnt know about.the drafts of the first star wars script were fascinating,cant help but feel that george lucas got more than his share of luck in how the film turned out.

    one other thing i was struck by was that david prowse gave an interview to some magazine in i think 78 that he was lukes father.cant remember if it was a wild guess or if he had inside information.

    Yeah, I really enjoyed it even as a fairly casual fan of the series. Gave my copy to a die-hard star wars fan and he's finding loads of things out in it that he hadn't known before.

    To be fair, he's doing nothing. None of the pics posting so far tell us anything. I think we've become highly sensitised to what is perceived as spoiler information. But ultimately if someone wants to be spoiler free (and this is not directed at anyone at all!), then reading threads about the upcoming movie is not the place to be! :)

    Some people don't wish to see costumes, characters actors play etc before release.

    Jaysis, must be very hard to get to release day without seeing characters in costumes !! Sure they'd be all over bus stops and ads online

    1977 Han looks a bit like James Woods in that. And Chewy's definitely had 'work' done! :P

    Something dawned on me today that makes me feel that these new sequels will probably do even more than the prequels did to highlight the Jedi are a bunch of incompetent, snake oil selling charlatans.

    In the prequels they speak of the prophecy and how Vadar will bring balance to the force.

    We saw how useless a force the Jedi were

    The prophecy comes true anyway. Vadar has a son who acts as a catalyst for Vadar killing the Emperor in the OT.

    Happy days.

    But now in the new movies there is obviously going to be some new upset or threat coming from the Darkside. If the rumours about Skywalker are true, and it certainly looks that way, well I don't need to say more than that.

    So in conclusion, the prequels and the non OT sequels will serve the theory even further that the Jedi are the most useless people in the history of anything.

    :mad:

    Well wasn't that the whole thing, that the Jedi weren't really the protectors of the realm they thought they were, they didn't really go into in depth but the fact there were so many jedi in the prequels kinda meant that the balance wasn't there, and they were complacent, ideals lost etc.

    Also you should totally sell all your SW memorabilia if you can't spell Vader correctly!

    In the Prequels, sure, but who cares, Never Happened.

    Is there a seperate thread for Star Wars ; Rogue One?

    seen a few bits n pieces about it and it almost seems a lot more exciting than Force Awakens
