    Looks a lot like the photo used on the leaked JNH children's merchandise.

    Why is Disney so slow on marketing TFA? I don't get it. One of the most anticipated films of 2015 and the marketing faucet drips very slowly.

    Because many SW fans are also Marvel films fans and they don't want to overload the market and over compete with themselves. Hence no May release for SW. They want to spread out so that people aren't impulse spending on the same paycheck.

    Anyone else notice how Kylo's saber looks a little bit like Vaders that has been pieced together? maybe it was burned with Vader and he recovered and it works all ganky now.

    It was in his hand that Luke sliced off over the pit.

    I'm thrilled that we haven't gotten the overloaded marketing campaign yet. Overexposure can have a negative effect.

    The panels on top of R2's dome don't look blue anymore. Maybe he's had some mismatched parts replaced as well?

    Being bombarded over and over again with toys, commercials, trailers, magazine covers, kids meals, cereal boxes, video games and who knows what else may work for TFA, but we are getting 6 Star Wars movies in 6 years, and idk about you but having that level of marketing on each movie would turn me off to Star Wars by the end.

    AOU, while still a massive BO success by any standards, came in well under expectations. I'm not saying it will happen now, but eventually it might be too much of a good thing. Especially if TFA is another TPM. Which is HIGHLY unlikely in my opinion. But it's always good to temper expectations and put the quality of the movie before the amount of money you will make from merchandizing. Which I believe disney is doing with Star Wars.

    Yeah! I noticed that too... It looks so much like Vader's. Specially on the grip, it has the same black stripes.

    btw I really don't understand C-3PO's red arm... It doesn't have any artistic sense, I thought it was gonna be like a red stripe or some kind of Republic ID on his arm? But I never thought about the hole arm being red... it's weird. I hope it looks good in the screen but when you see him with R2 and BB8, it doesn't have a coherent color palette between the droids because of that red arm.... I hope to be wrong and if is gonna be red, I expect to like it ;)
