    I tried to do a mock up of Craig as Thrawn. He looked very "Alfred E. Newman-ish" (The guy on the Mad Magazine covers)
    Someone did one of Cumberbatch and he looks a lot more menacing.

    Haha. You should have chosen a more scowly looking pic of him though and used his own hair.

    Silly question I was rummaging around MSW today and ran across the old stories about Luke's Lightsaber. They seem to think it was the green saber and his mechanical hand from Jedi not the blue from Empire at least in the couple articles I read. Also rather than this being a random tumble through space of a missing hand they said it was part of a crash.

    Has this been thoroughly debunked. I know that there has been less discussion about it but is that because it is assumed or because it is unlikely?

    I think this is exactly what Oscar Isaac was talking about when he said that there were rumors that were simply full of it - this one probably had the greatest circulation, and since I imagine that he's a very busy man, I think this is the one he had most likely heard about, along with "evil Luke". (I doubt that he has the time or interest to read up on every little leak, or the Spoilerman and Spoiler Bro escapades.) Pretty much everyone I've seen has called it an absurd theory at this point, and the idea of the movie opening with a lightsaber floating in space instead of an action sequence sounds like one that would turn an audience off faster than you could say "trade negotiations".

    What I've been able to gather is that, while Luke's lightsaber is important in some fashion, it's not attached to a hand or anything (and thank goodness, because that would be really, really dumb). The lightsaber in question was the second one that Anakin built, which Obi-Wan stole and gave to Luke, so it passed from generation to generation. (Luke still has his lightsaber from Return Of The Jedi; while he tosses it away when he refuses to kill his father, he is seen with it during the celebration, meaning that he recovered the weapon offscreen.) I've heard that the multi-generational Skywalker lightsaber belongs to Adam Driver's character (or whomever the "grave-robber"/antique collector is) at the beginning of the film, and it gets stolen in the opening sequence when Finn ditches the Empire. Rey ends up using it, though - although both apparently pick up lightsabers before the end of the movie.

    Will Han wear a Stormtrooper's outfit again? That rumor was back in October I think, but was it ever confirmed?

    I think that one is about as confirmed as it can get... there was concept art, I believe, that backed the scene that was reportedly seen

    Thank you that is a long response. I am not sure what theories Isaac is talking about though but I would actually say that the SpoilerMan/Bro rumors are the prime suspects simply because they are recent and they are the ones that the press outside of Star Wars really reacted to in the last month or so.

    Yeah. I agree the floating through space idea or even the ESB saber seemed a stretch to me but the article I read pointed that all of the blue saber talk was a mix up of which of Luke's sabers it was and people were trying to explain how the saber got to Tatooine. This was saying that the Green ROTJ saber was found in a ship wreck. I am just wondering if a missed an article somewhere about whether the light saber being relevant to the story at all was still viable. Which even you mentioned may still be around.

    That's because some concept art was seen with a green lightsaber. I've heard mostly it's Anakin's blue one.

    Hasn't really been debunked, the current idea is that the lightsaber in space was from an early Arndt draft but elements of it are supposed to have made the final draft. We believe it's what caused Rey to join the plot

    Keeping in mind that it is a "good guy" saber, the concept art only had so many colours to choose from... just like the cross hilt being red is leading us all to say, "Sith"

    So, appearantly, there are people who already saw the MOVIE!
    Yeah, well, no! But, what is worse than fake spoiler leaks? Fake movie leaks, with surveys, where the guys behind it hope that you are retarded enough to complete a survey. They have movies even before they are made! - Like in Spaceballs lol.
    Really, the comments from the people, claiming that they saw that movie and it's awesome, as there are usually also no negative comments,
    only damn hyping ones: Like, saw this today and man, it is awesome. Hehe.

    More crazy stuff are people, who are possibly simmilar to fake spoilers or are promoting s**t like that, with engaging into huge discussions mostly under official youtube video, with the link to the movie leak and bunch of guys discussing, how the movie was awesome...

    I feel sorry for anyone, actually completing the survey and getting ripped off. Simmilar thing happened to me on domestic website years ago, shortly after school,
    as I was inexperienced, searching for a work in my expertise, completely destroyed after countless aplications and tried a site with great offers that were real (but not up to date, but left there intentionally, some even years old as I did my research later), so I sent a message with activation for money, to be registered for offers. Geez, I'll never forget that. It was set so, that you will lose the same money each month, simmilar to those ''Help Africa'' and simmilar models, so I had to threaten the owner of the site with suing him legally, as he has the obligation to unregister you if you desire it. Then I was finally off the hook.

    So please, beware of scam like this, or it will hurt your wallets :)

    PS: The Story behind this post is, that I've encountered discussion with link on a leak of TFA under the official teaser video, and wondered how rude and egoistic these people can be, trying to rip off dumb people with something that is not even finished yet!!!

    i think maybe some little stuff leaks are true, but the whole story like the one posted by spoiler man and etc ???.. no way!!! A random guy says: 'i'm form lucas film and the movie will be like this and this". Man, it's TOO EASY to speculate a Story, and post on 4chan.... And about the "entire-movie-leak-site": I saw this, a fake Entire-Movie-Leak walking arround... dude the internet can have a lot of blast and people trying to pick up your wallet
