I'll miss your commentary for Full of Sith; you provided a very unique perspective on the podcast, especially your "Late to the Party" entries for The Clone Wars. Good luck with whatever you do in the future.

I'd like to know what piece of information made them think we would get a new logo.

Probably just the way their information on the poster was worded. They're not the greatest at speculation. They'll sometimes jump to a conclusion that doesn't make much sense. Usually when people smack em for "getting something wrong" it's not that they actually got anything wrong - it's that people are confusing their speculation for actual news. Their news has been almost entirely 100% spot-on. Their speculation is about 50/50.

Pretty low I'd say. When it comes to posters and trailers, they run a tight ship.
Yeah, that's what I'm getting at. They seem like cool dudes and their sourced information has been pretty on-point, but sometimes they jump to weird or illogical conclusions from that information.
Like, seriously, a new logo didn't make much sense. I know this film has had an atypical marketing strategy, but rebranding the thing seemed impossible two months out.

Remember all those "Finn is a useless incompetent" conclusions he kept drawing
nigga needs to stick to the facts

Yeah, but now the problem is going to be "but I thought he was going to be a Jedi and he wasn't!"

Yeah, they pushed that angle pretty hard. Always thought that was weird. Hell, aside from when he puts the final shot in the Death Star, Luke doesn't do much of much for the entirety of Star Wars, either. You could certainly look at the plot points and deduce he's kind of a chump.
But he isn't.
I dunno, I still think it's possible he'll have some force sensitivity. The shit IS awakening, after all.
Luke sucked with a Lightsaber at first too. Kept getting shot in the ass.

I'm kinda hyped for the trailer, but more hyped to finally have tickets purchased. All that's left is to just not injure myself or die after tomorrow.
It should be fairly obvious if he does well with the lightsaber. If he's blocking bolts then he's already doing better than Luke in ANH.
Well there is that rumor floating around that FO stormtroopers are trained with (light)sabers and shields, which suggest that any skill Finn has would be independent of whether or not he is Force sensitive.
Plus, dude ends up seemingly injured by Kylo in the final battle, so there might be room for doubt about his skills.
But fair point.

Seeing the reactions makes me regret spoiling myself, really.

Is it another Death Star? Is it in the movie or was it just made for the poster?
New Death Star.
It's Starkiller Base. It blows up entire star systems.

If the rumor about
is true this movie might get a low review from me. That's my favorite character.

There is a synopsis on MSW (edit: linked right above) from a few months ago, but there are bits and pieces that have been revealed/leaked every couple of weeks since then, like Poe being leader of Black Squadron, Rey's staff not being anything special, etc.
I believe MakingStarwars has a synopsis on their site. It's from a while back though.

You know how much media I have consumed where my favorite character died? Giving something a low review because someone you liked died is just childish. Especially when it seems to make sense story wise.
What odd reason to not like the movie. Are they supposed to protect your favorite character forever?
Thanks.

I actually like them not being together. It's a fucking war and shit happens.
As long as it is well done that's all that counts.
It seems to be they've decided to take a bunch of stuff from the Expanded Universe and twist it a bit.
Nah. I would say it is coincidence. Kasdan and Abrams are pretty ignorant of the EU.

Why are you putting spoiler tags in a spoiler thread?
Charles Foster Kane

Actually that's what one of the things that sounds best about it. Sounds like a good decision. As is focusing on the new characters.
Luke being in one scene would make his appearance more significant and special.

Just imagine if they found the strongest fucking dude in the universe in the first 20 minutes.

Luke being there while they're setting up a new threat takes away the tension.
Charles Foster Kane

Oh yeah, that's what I meant too.

Shit happens. Them not being together can make total sense.
I imagine people complaining about something as trivial are babies with poor taste anyways.They will complain if they put them together too because of pandering. What matters is if the movie is good and how that stuff is handled.

It's a war. People go out and are never seen from again.
and let's be real. We just need a scene of Han and Leia together.
Charles Foster Kane

That is the one that might be needed. It's in the rumors too, right?

This sounds like the setup to a porno.

Is there a gay subplot?
I know who I want to see together.

I just realized the story credits. Arndt's name is there. Which means a lot of his ideas are in the film. Wasn't his script based on Lucas's outlines?
Let them be pissed. I feel like that would be exactly the type of nostalgia pandering that people are complaining about in the other thread.
