    Some very interesting developments in the Aftermath book, which includes a few interludes setting up stories for future books (courtesy of MSW):

    Also, an excerpt from the book:

    Sounds like Snoke and the Knights of Ren may be related somehow to these Acolytes of the Beyond, and that their dark side lineage predates the Sith, and originates from perhaps outside the Galaxy.

    If I recall correctly, the alternate third act of the spoilerboard had Luke Skywalker fighting against a few siths before confronting Kylo. I also recall reading about this at some point.

    The theory of Kylo impersonating Vader grows stronger every day! Just want to remind anyone that the guy that first claimed this also revealed Jakku's name hours before it was officially announced. And he did so over at reddit.

    Agreed about the red text -- this is new, very spoilery info. That Rey infiltrates the base, and that we see multiple knights of Ren. Wonder if they will wear masks and what kind of light sabers they will have... and if Rey will take them all down.

    So I assume that the first order riot control stormtroopers are the ones with the shield. We have seen those yesterday.
    The Guavian Death Gang Enforcer is the guy with the red dot from the comiccon footage.
    How come we are getting so much info dumped on us, sometimes very spoilery, with no teaser in sight?

    "Are you ready to join the dark side?

    From behind a suit of silver armor and a reflective, mirrored mask, the captain inspects a unit of Stormtroopers before battle. The Resistance must be brought to its knees, so that the First Order may reign supreme over the galaxy. Villains like Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine have ruled in the past, but in Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, the face of the Dark Side has been replaced, and her name is Captain Phasma."

    Yeah the fact that people think this is exactly how the characters will sound is a little puzzling to me. We've all had talking toys and they all have pretty bad speakers in them. They also often say unique lines that aren't necessarily the same as in the movie.

    So Captain Phasma is a Dark Side user as well? There are multiple other Dark Side Knights of Ren?

    Whoa, this is shaping up to be pretty cool. The days of lightsaber wielders swinging wildly at the air to have ranks of CG robots walk dumbly into their flowery slashing motions is over it sounds like.

    Don't know if Captain Phasma will be a dark side user; I think the description is describing her as one of the new faces of the First Order which is associated with the Dark Side like the old Empire.

    Didn't concept art have Captain Phasma with a lightsaber hilt carved out of bone or of a claw?

    Don't know why you got a 'clouded' rating, because you're right. That saber in early concept art was linked to her. Whether it was linked to her in the artwork itself, or by fans, I don't remember. But it was linked to the chrome trooper.

    Further hints that Rey might get her staff from Sarco Plank, who also weilds a lightsaber resistant electrostaff in Weapon of a Jedi

    Rey's Staff Costume Description - http://www.buycostumes.com/p/809238/star-wars-episode-7-rey-staff

    As a strong, independent space scavenger and member of the resistance, Rey needs a powerful weapon to protect herself from Stormtroopers, Kylo Ren, and Captain Phasma. This Rey staff is the perfect accessory to your rebellious costume. Similar to the staff that was used to deflect lightsaber blades during The Clone Wars, this staff is extremely detailed and perfectly coordinated with Rey’s costume.
