And he broke his hip while filming this, which pushed back the release quite a bit.
All reasonable signs point to yes.
Somebody get ja rule on the line to see what his thoughts are on 9 minutes of the film.

I've got a few black friends who weren't really fans of the OT (and lol at the Prequels) who are really digging what they've seen so far and are excited about the film because the guy holding the lightsaber in promos is black. They'll definitely be bummed if that turns out to be a red herring.

They killed Solo because Ford dared to be old

Didn't Ford initially want Han to die in ESB? Always had the idea that he just wanted off the SW train.

I just hope that Han's death is well executed. I don't want it to be bad as Kirk's death in Generations.
As a black dude, I totally understand where they're coming from is partially the reason I don't want it to happen either.
Please don't fuck us Abrams. Have Finn join Rey in her training after he recovers. Think of the awesome two on one lightsaber battle they could have with Kylo!

Malcolm McDowell as Sauron will trap Han in the Nexus.

Do they destroy the Not Death Star in this or does that come in the sequels?
The spoilers were right in front of us this whole time.
Nah it was in Jedi.
His death from the outside makes sense:
-Ford is 73 now and not the spring chicken he used to be
-He broke his hip on set and it delayed the film
-He wanted to die in Jedi

I hope they blow it up, if only so we can maybe have a good SW movie that doesn't involve a superweapon.

The film's release date was pushed back to December before Ford's injury, I believe

Wasn't that because of the throwing out of Arndt's script?

John Boyega is the main reason I'm excited for this movie. I really hope he doesn't end the movie in a hospital bed, or at least that he gets to become a jedi too in the sequels. This new trilogy doesn't need to have only one jedi in the main cast just because that's what the OT did.
The Force shouldn't Awaken in only one character, makes the title kinda shitty.
Also since Rey is basically undoubtedly the main jedi at least, give her a damn double bladed lightsaber. Please. I'm sick of all the main characters being forced to have single blades. Don't let double blades die with Maul in the movies

Lucas liked some things from the EU. He didn't feel bound to it and didn't consider it canon but he liked to dabble in it from time to time. I think the idea that he 100% didn't have any interest in it at all is a bit overblown. He was a big fan of Dark Empire, for example, and when writing the prequels he would consult a big encyclopedia to make sure that names and concepts didn't conflict with things that had already been done before (unless he just didn't care, like with Boba).
I guess there's no real way to know unless we find out one day what exactly Lucas' notes entailed.

2 hr 16 min, going by Fandango.
The double bladed lightsaber is unbelievably stupid. Please no. They could always have someone fight with two lightsabers instead.
Yes passing mentions in the Tarkin book confirming him as Sheev's master. No mention of his race though.

Anyone else read Star Wars: Aftermath? It's a bit of a meh read, but there are some interesting tidbits I thought I'd share, especially since it is a book that is tied into TFA.
On Tatooine, we learn that Boba Fett's Mandalorian battle armor survived the Sarlacc pit, and someone has purchased it. Doesn't one of the KOR guys have armor that appears similar?
There are Vader worshippers. On Taris, worshippers attempt to buy his lightsaber, though its almost definitely a fake. There is also graffiti of Vader, a stencil of a familiar Sith Lords helmet with the phrase beneath it reading VADER LIVES. I wonder if Kylo Ren is part of this cult, considering he has the helmet on display?
There is a new droid named Mr. Bones. He is a battle droid covered in rattling animal bones with half of his head missing and a telescopic red eye in its place. Heres how he describes one fight: I PERFORMED VIOLENCE. We need to see this fucking thing in the movie.

Tbh his character was fairly useless in Jedi. I think ESB Han Solo to ROTJ Han Solo is one of the biggest nerfings of a character in history. He barely does anything in the film and is just kind of there because the character is supposed to be there. Totally makes sense that the original script had him dying, but they could have incorporated him a lot better after they reversed that decision.
- Gets freed from Jabba's Palace, is blind for the whole thing
- A few lines of dialogue on Ackbar's ship
- Leads the Endor strike team, but other characters do all the cool stuff
- Gets "I love you"/"I know" reversed by Leia
The only real contribution he makes is to fake being a stormtrooper commander to get the gates open. And that's it. Leia and Lando are the main contributors in that movie aside from Luke. Even Chewie does more on Endor.
He doesn't say that. Not that there's any reason to doubt Han dies at this point, but I doubt he'd be so cavalier about it. The quote in question is about whether he'd anticipated making another SW film (that is, before Disney and before TFA went into development).
Different group, unless they morph into the Knights of Ren. The group in the book is the Acolytes of the Beyond.
Nobody knows, but there is nothing in the leaks that explicitly points to it.

I think he was Lena Dunham's boyfriend and then they broke up and he just went crazy and gave in to the Dark Side.
He won't be the Han of the group if he is, so much for mirroring. Outlook not so good
Well 5 is the best and has no Death Star. And 6 is arguably the worst OT Star Wars and has a Death Star.
Let's remember the most important one...
- Makes sure Luke, and Leia don't make incest babies

But we've known that wasn't true ever since ESB when Han opened the tauntan with Luke's lightsaber...?

By accident. I love that the ultimate EU Mary Sue will always be known for going out like a chump.

The double bladed lightsaber is amazing, and its disuse in everything but the EU is a crime. It's no less dumb than Kylo Ren's crossguard, considering people actually fought with staves in real life. There needs to be someone who specializes in two sabers as well though, no argument there.
Finn getting two and Rey getting a double blade would be my dream. I'm just sick of one single blade. We've seen that enough, take advantage of all the other shit.

I think you need to be a Jedi to build a lightsaber. Anyone can swing one around, but you more than likely will kill yourself before you master it. Jedi's can see into the future, that's why they can kick ass with them.

on accident. His real death came from falling into a giant sand vagina
which also removed pretty much any hint of cool factor that character had from ESB, as well
Which is arguably the worst scene with 'I hate sand' and 'I have the high ground' in the entirety of mainline Star Wars.
Rolling, not falling into. He purposefully rolls into the vagina.
