In fact get a line to the Romulans and Cylons, they may want to take a shot at him as well.

Nearly 7 minutes from The Force Awakens.

I doubt that all the clips are chronologically correct but still a decent effort, there is not try, do or do not.

The OST Track Listing finally gives some sort of order to the film (if the OST is in order?!).

(spoilerific btw)

Spoiler:

So it looks like Starkiller base is introduced in 2nd act, and that we can expect probably a lot of space battles in the 3rd act. I would also totally hate it if Luke is strictly an end of the movie cameo.

[littlediegito]

I have a feeling he will be at the end only. I think the point may be finding him and the "Hope is not lost, it is found." line from the trailer may be related to finding him. It may also be why we have only seen the one shot of him with his hand on R2 in any of the marketing despite the rest of the OT cast getting a lot of exposure.

I am more interested than ever before.

I want one more scene with Han and Luke, I want to hear Han call Luke kid one more time.

And in the great outer plane movie theater, in between bites of soul larvae popcorn kernels, despite his efforts to do otherwise, a tear ran down Asmodeus eye as Baba Yaga nuzzeled in his chest.

Rolling Stone Magazine - Kylo Ren Unmasked, Starkiller Base = "sunsucker", Mark Hamil hesitant to reprise his role.

I worked for Rolling Stone in the early 90's. This would have been a killer assignment.

I have not missed my wide eyed 20's as much as I did reading the article.

She dissed Spirited Away.

I closed the video after that, I no longer had any interest whatsoever in her opinion.

Yeah pretty much what Orthos said.

Upbeat John Boyega interview

Apparently, he also did a Sirius XM Radio interview, during part of which.....

....responding to the criticism about there being a “black Stormtrooper” in Star Wars, Boyega says he’d like to “fixate” on “the true Star Wars fans who are just ready to see a good movie despite my gorgeous chocolate skin.”

I like that he can keep his humor through all this insanity.

The last post has SPOILERS.

In other movie news, the 2016 movie trailers attached to screenings of The Force Awakens include,

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (March 25), Universal's The Huntsman's Winter War (April 22), X-Men: Apocalypse (May 27) and Independence Day: Resurgence (June 24) and Star Trek Beyond (July 22).

Potential unconfirmed promos from Disney, include The Jungle Book (April 15), Captain America: Civil War (May 6) or Finding Dory (June 17).

That article hits the strides I had already guessed out. Except for the whole hunk of junk throwaway. That really tosses out my timeline for character introduction. The number of planets we have seen in the clips and the number of acts just doesn't kosher.

We have:
Night Time trooper attack
Night Time / Day on Starkiller Base / Snow planet
A Night scene with rain (dead body / crying Rey)
Lush planet / Rebel Base
Presumably Maz Katana's place (the flagged up place with the red droid)
Jakku

Now we can presume the Trooper Attack also happens on Jakku.

But we're left with the following problem:

Is Rebel Base on the same planet as the flagged place? Or is there a 4th planet thrown into the mix that we're not yet privy to?

Also, with there being night snow and night rain, are both of those scenes happening on Starkiller Base, or is the scene that appears to be rain really snow?

You know, even with all these teasers and previews and interviews, we still really don't know any concrete bits of *plot*. Yeah, we know generally that rey and finn meet, hook up with solo, and fight Kylo on two different planets, one of which is a WMD. Beyond that, though, no motivation, no real character details other than "space orphan" and "born to be a trooper" and "OMG I HEART VADER!" I'm excited and really really can't wait for the next 11 days to pass.

Spoiler:

A moon of Yavin, same base as episode 4

That would be very interesting if true as {REDACTED} housed several old sith ruins, and still had the force ghost of {REDACTED} hanging out there.

[archmagi1]

So if Rebel Base is where CapeCodRPGer says, then it makes a lot more sense. The heroes go there, meet up with act 2, fly to lush planet, hyjinks ensue, etc.

I'm assuming you are referring to EU stuff?

I'm not sure if I want to call this Star Trek vs Star Wars or Two Christmas Hams

I admit I teared up watching this.

Great ad. All the ads for the movie and the Battlefront game make me feel like when I was a kid watching Star Wars for the first time.

For my ally in the Nostalgia. And a powerful ally it is. Marketing creates it, makes it grow. It’s energy surrounds us and binds us.

Sentimental beings are we … (pinches CapeCOd's shoulder) … not this crude matter. (A sweeping gesture) You must feel the Nostalgia around you. (Gesturing) Here, between you … me… the tree … The Rock … everywhere!

Makes sense, Mark Hamill does know a thing or two about lightsaber duels. Don't F@%! with a jedi master, son.

Seriously, just who else would Luke have been talking to in the trailer?

forget spoilers, just based on the trailers so far I can guess the outline for the movie.

Its like when JJ said the big bad in ST2 wasn't Khan, but we knew it had to be cause no other canon villain would fit the profile.

sigh

I know but there is still chatter out there that Finn is somehow a solo/Skywalker. One of the more outrageous theories I've seen is that Rey is Luke and phasmas.
