    Hi Cantina, I've returned (if briefly), because numerous people have indicated to me (on Twitter) that there's a rumor on here, specifically a rumor about me. I'm not sure who nor what started this exactly, just that I'm alleged to have logged on here under a false identity and stated a rumor on the trailer being released imminently? If I've got this wrong correct me below.

    Just dropped in to say it's not true, (that which I've had relayed to me at least) and to say hi. I have an account here (this one) but haven't used it in quite a while. I'm namely on Twitter, where you can find me rambling about flicks on any given day, usually about Paul Blart, and how amazingly great it is.

    So yeah, there you go I guess.

    Also, this is pretty off topic, yet this was somewhat TFA related as that's what the rumor related to (at least from what I'm told). So I placed it here, if incorrect please remove or place this wherever it belongs.

    On a side note, great work recently SW7.

    MTFBWY.

    Always.

    Well... let me say this about that... the admins do a fairly decent job of trying to vet any information that comes our way... were someone, for instance, to log in from the same location with multiple accounts, we would (most likely) take notice. If someone were to come on and post curious information, we would similarly look into whether or not that person was spoofing, or being spoofed...

    I do remember someone mentioning "GG" in relation to the supposed announcement of a trailer release, and I remember someone else inferring that it was you who was being referred to, but I can't remember whether they were referring to a tweet or a post...

    As far as I know, Collider was the one who started the stink about the trailer being today, weren't they? I don't remember you mentioning it, I remember no tweet from you officially stating it (which one would assume would be your preferred method of killer new information)

    Ok, guys... let's hear it... anyone got anything to say to/about this guy, here he is... don't snivel around, be 21 and say it to his face (so to speak)

    [EDIT] - After some searching

    Ok @p03... it's only fair I tag you into this...

    The thread was started by @Cayla92 who made the claim that the trailer was to be released today, which obviously did not happen...

    I can see you called GG to the table, and he's taken a seat... you make a fairly strong claim, and the claim that @G@BRIEL GR@Y was actially behind this (along with the other accusations you made) obviously caused enough of a stir to wake the man and bring him to our home...

    So... let's hear your side of it...

    I don't even know what was said apart from the quotes I've just read, but I realize the internet is the wild west with info and motives misconstrued relentlessly. It's all good, but to answer one of the claims I've seen. I don't have a single Reddit account, never mind three lol. The truth is I'm really not that active on social media, apart from Twitter, but that's a private feed.

    So to clear thaaangs up for people.

    I have...

    One Twitter account. Same name as here. (Used regularly)
    One Disqus account. Same name as here. (Rarely used)
    One Cantina account. (Using now).

    That's about it tbh, (if memory serves.) If I were to mention anything on any related flick, it'd be on Twitter, and most certainly only in passing in regards to TFA and the run up to 'ramp up', but usually I'm talking about Paul Blart, because because because becaaaauuuussee, because of the wonderful things he does.

    On a more topical note, the full (selected) trailer varaint will release when it releases, you wont have long. Beyond that, patience and enjoy the awakening. MTFBWY.

    This rumor begins on the reddit forums with the user 00__00. He was the reddit poster who leaked JW plot details a few weeks before the movie, so that gave him credibility when he started making claims about TFA. He was the user on reddit that claimed there would be a full trailer at SDCC, and that he had seen it, even after the EW report saying we wouldn't get one. He also said Jason Ward from MSW was "F****D"

    It's become a joke around here to bring him up when obviously fake accounts come in and post fake stuff. The other day someone claimed that the trailer would be out at 10:01 today, and knowing that it was obviously a troll, I made a joke along the lines of "looks like 00__00 is at it again". Then someone said that GG was actually revealed to be 00__00. And that's how this started.

    Anyone who takes anything off reddit without some outside confirmation gets what they deserve...

    You have committed many heinous crimes in the time I have known you... we will forget that thing involving my sister and address the more serious issue of: Failure to live up to the expectations of others... your defense that you merely present the information available to you in no way mitigates your lack of giving people what they want, how they want, when they want it... for this, they wish to flog you with wet noodles

    I see, all good, got quite a few notifications over on Twitter, so just wondered what was occurring, but being the internet, you can be assured that somewhere something is always occurring, I was just puzzled. Thanks for filling me in.

    How exactly can @G@BRIEL GR@Y be off topic for the first post in a thread he started?

    Isn't that the very definition of ON topic?

    serious business going on in this thread.

    Maybe I'm thinking of someone else but I saw that someone named Gabriel posted a fake pic of a TFA lightsaber prop on Twitters a while ago.

    You know what, you're such a bold faced liar I don't know why you're even posting. Most people will forget I guess because your name is out there but you've lied again and again and again in embarrassing obvious ways.

    Annoying stuff too. Like a trailer not showing up at 12am in one time zone, so a few minutes later you reveal your source has told you it was actually another time zone. You basically make claims on what appear to be super safe bets. It's painful and sad for me to see my fellow fans falling for your attention seeking garbage.

    I think you're referring to the Talkbacker images from years back?

    I've never stated what anything was/is/or shall be, but I can assure you I've no need to fake anything, and besides those images were for a select few, not dissection by the masses after the fact, which is one of the reasons I'm on private. There was a whole heap of fuss about a beard too a while back, but this was many moons ago, and none of it, not even on its best day, could it be considered evidence of anything, other than hype and conversational pieces for specific people in the run up to their excitement, if that makes sense?

    I've stopped posting images from flicks, and whatever else, I've no intention of being a scooper. No point, not when you'll see whatever you see in the long term anyway, but most especially on SW. I rarely approach the topic, and for good reason, and because I have little to zero interest in spoiling anything and interfering with a perfectly aligned roll-out.

    My feed became so scrutinized I went private, and silenced the echo chamber. I just like talking about flicks with a few people whom like them, anything else is irrelevant to me, and to anyone else tbh, but I get the passion and enthusiasm people have for the galaxy far far away. Believe me, I know.

    Super ambiguous "predictions". We're all fans here dude, but you pretending to know stuff you don't is freaking annoying and creepy. How about this, just come clean. I was going to say admit, but you can't admit to it, you've already been caught. Stop lying or log out and don't come back. Fan fiction and speculation and prediction is fine but lying to a no go. No one cares if you've been impersonated. You don't have a reputation to lose.

    To be fair, for those who only know him recently... two words...

    Terminator and Jurassic...

    'BTW... and I might get overruled here, so be aware... but for the purpose of this thread, I will suspend our normal "don't attack the poster" rules, as GG is here to defend himself...

    As for the rest, if you don't like what the man has to say, don't read his tweets... he won't lose any sleep if you don't, why are you losing sleep when you do?
