STAR WARS, INDY , HOWARD THE DUCK DEUCE; AND MORE

It's not screening for critics.

9 times out of 10 that is a bad sign. It looks great but that is something to keep in mind.

Or they're assured it's amazing and they don't give a fuck?

Also, pretty sure there are spoilers and twist in there, and given's JJ's mentality, he's keeping everything as a mystery until he can't. That's how I see it.

I'm not remotely concerned about that.

[BillyG]

Yeah, I just don't see why they need to screen for critics. Plus yeah JJ is INSANE about spoilers.

[Matt]

It's totally a ploy to avoid letting spoilers get out there, that's it. I wouldn't read anything into the lack of early critical screenings at all.

[Abraham Smashington]

no screenings doesn't mean shit. This smells like Disney helping JJ not have his movie spoiled. Just like they did with pushing back the releases on the art books and whatnot.

Looks like a different take of the 'Chewie, we're home' moment.

[Abraham Smashington]

yep. He looks so happy.

  Spoiler: Spoiler! 

Escape from Jakku sequence. Rey is flying, Finn is in the bottom gun covering the Falcon's escape and picking off TIE Fighters.

Bingo. One of the first things I ever covered was Episode I and I had so many newspaper people telling me shit days if not weeks of what happened before the movie came out.

The Qui-Gon stuff, Darth Maul barely being in it, the midichlorian shit and so on.

Fuck, the Prequels leaked like a motherfucker. While "most" of the leaks have been controlled, we're nowhere near total leak to the public like Episodes 1-3 had experienced.

Shit, there are still some morons that think Kylo Ren is Luke.

That's what I figured re: the lack of critic screenings. That, and people are going to see this in droves even if critics say it sucks. Star Wars = printing money.

Also, seems fans with theories don't Google much, do they?

Kylo Ren, sans mask:


Luke Skywalker:


Homework. It's what's for dinner.

Something that should've been figured out, but I had to bring it up last night.

  Spoiler: SPOILER ALERT 

Effectively, there is no flashback or whatever. I still can't place what they did with the Vader stand-in. But, no teenage/young Leia whatever anymore.


Billie Lourd only shows up now in two scenes as a background/back-up Resistance supporting character at their military base.
