Well I was hoping someone would.
It's not the biggest newspaper in the world, in fact it's a small newspaper in the grand scheme of things, cut them a bit of slack.

Heh just been catching up with The Flash, man what a fantastic show. The Hamill character was great but he was obviously channeling a bit too much Joker in the voice.
Which is fine

Looks like Rey will be in some of the 'Exotic City' scenes as her stunt double's going to be in Dubrovnik.

I already did! Looks like the Millenium Falcon cockpit (which is probably why he was okay to post it)
Wow, very interesting. Loving the look and feel so far of what we've seen.
RoboCop comes to mind immediately for some reason

Those helmets are something.

It's like combining the military inspired look of the Empire officers from the OT with the samurai inspired look of Vader's helmet.
Looks like it could come straight out of Empire Strikes Back practically:

The white and black makes me think it's First Order. The Aurebesh on their helmets is CBPD according to one of the comments.
Weird looking costumes here, not sure what to make of it.

Yep Johnson is going full retro with this thing when it comes to the art direction. Like damn.

Yeah, be careful, apparently some of this stuff is toward the end of the film. Could be massive spoilers coming if we keep getting shots like these.

whaaat
oh god I'm fucking out. What about a non spoiler speculation/discussion thread? But shouldn't that be this thread? Maybe not post potential spoilers?
This is the Production Thread, so its spoilerish.

Those images aren't really spoilers. But this is the thread that was created for discussing Rogue One/VIII plot spoilers really. From what I've seen people do tend to post spoilers in production threads though so there's always a risk.

Well... I'd say we need to get a fix/some focus on this. I want to talk about the movie but without fear of spoilers. I agree those images aren't spoilerish but you know how fucking ignorant people can be.
Super spoilery stuff should stay in the existing spoiler production thread though. I feel like people should theoretically be able to feel safe posting in here without fear of seeing spy pics of main characters on location or anything revealing major plot points that isn't from officially released material like official marketing or approved social media from stars/filmmakers.

Agree with this. Shit like costumes and sets are fine as long as there's no obvious spoilery context to it. Like for example someone could post innocent shots from a set and then someone could turn around and post a shot from a set where you clearly see Luke Skywalker laying in a pool of blood. "Well everyone else was posting set pics..."

Yeah, with TFA it was a little different as there was a thread clearly labelled SPOILERS while all the officially released info was discussed in the Star Wars OT or new threads were made.
Obviously this thread wasn't made to spoil the film for people but even in Marvel production threads I've seen people posting heavy spoilers for Civil War.
Could be a minefield soon, and for sure; we saw a LOT of those types of posts in the non-spoiler VII thread.
I think there should be clearly defined rules and expectations in the OP and a direct link to where bombshell spoilers are posted and discussed. All it takes is for someone to post the big spoiler quickly without thinking and we're all fucked.
It's time.
Yeah, I think I'm outta here now.
I hope
It's official instagrams and twitter accounts for me from now on
Later

Dreamt about Episode VIII. It was beautiful! Muted, rich, dark visuals. The mind is an amazing thing.
Going forward, please direct link, rather than embed, pictures of leaks (set photos, etc.), and include a note in your post about what the link is about, so folks can decide whether to view it. This is supposed to be the non-spoiler production discussion thread, so let's be cautious here. I'd rather set the precedent now than when potentially real spoilers from filming start to come out.
Stuff direct from Lucasfilm / Johnson is fine since those are not leaks and so not likely to be spoilers.

Whoa, interesting look - it's incredibly retro, and very OT.. yet it feels like there are hints of larger universe and style the prequels hinted at.
I'm liking it.
Thanks for the warning. Out of curiosity, how is this known/where is it being reported?

Me too, its so much fun to just take then for what they are.
Blade Runner vibe.From pics I have seen so far.

Right. This is why I'm calling for more specifically designated threads. There needs to be order before shit gets out of control.
We have them. We are in the non-spoiler thread. This was discussed on the first page, and settled here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=194818112&postcount=89
The spoiler thread is here.
If something is in a grey space, don't direct embed. Err on the side of using the spoiler thread.

Hux, is that you?
Making Star Wars have got a video of someone being force pushed in Dubrovnik. Either that or they just slipped on a banana.
Their Croatian source also hints that a certain someone might be making an appearance in the 'Exotic City' scenes though the interior scenes will likely be shot at Pinewood. There's also a few theories about where the 'Exotic City' might be which sound pretty interesting.
Then I guess I'm back in.
I just hope nobody does any stupid shenanigans like that one guy who made an entire thread about a Cloverfield spoiler recently

Yeah, I see, I just hope people actually use that thread. I didn't even know about it

Looks like a better angle of the video I posted. Pretty funny watching that guy go flying.
