    If you watch the cool TFA trailer scene with the "Dam Buster" X wings, the intent might be that Poe will destroy the First Order's WMD(maybe Starkiller base?).
    The "black X wing" may have stealth systems or a special bomb or weapon to wipe out the First Order base. (x-wing)

    I think JJ & Kasdan will follow the 3rd act of ANH & have a huge space battle with a awards ceremony. It might close with a sad end followed with a brief reflection-pep talk scene(maybe Luke & the young leads or Luke & Yoda force ghost).

    Reportedly, George Lucas and the ILM staff based the ANH Death Star battle on the real WWII mission.

    The planes flying low with streaks of water is like TFA's exciting X wing scene ;) ,

    I saw a History channel doc special that detailed the events of the art work above. It was a interesting WWII combat mission.

    Not confused. "Green" as in Greenhorn/New Comer would be the right way to say it but they could have interchanged the meaning of "Finn"=Blonde/light to Luke who was blonde and good=light side to make the point of Finn to be like Luke as an archetyp....And who as "new" to the adventure...Just that...

    This (I'm assuming concept art) accompanied a post on SW7N several months ago. Although it is concept art, these new walkers can be seen in the Korean trailer in the FO rally. What if, along with the design, this exact scenario (or some version of it) made it to the final film. It looks like the terrain of the planet where the FO rally takes place. Could this be the battle of Takodana? Someone may have already brought this up or discredited the idea altogether, it just struck me as interesting.

    I also just noticed these machines that look like transport boats used to to storm Normandy, has there been any talk about what these might be? they can be seen middle left on the FO scene from the Korean trailer.

    Damn, yea i figured it was too good to be true, but they look just like the walkers from that trailer. Still a badass picture though, probably going on my laptop background. :D

    Ok, so I didn't realize there were all these data bank entries for TFA.

    I looked up "Unkar" and found his last name is Plutt.

    Is this new or am I just the last to know?
