    I'm sorry, the second and third pictures in your post aren't coming up on my computer.

    I'm going back and forth looking at the first picture in your post and the picture above from TLJ and I'm more convinced than before that those are the same vehicle. Especially since the blue accent paint seems to match. All the ones in the TLJ teaser the fins maybe fold forward or down in space that bubble gun could pop or fold out once in space.... I mean, Bwings look completely different in combat than while traveling. Xwings only have their name because of how they look in battle... I'm seeing a lot of similarities

    It looks like almost exactly the same ship (and scale!) as from TFA, but again, I'm not able to see your second and third picture.

    That's a great shot of these new ships plus I can now see two different colour schemes on the so probably 2 separate fleets. There size are hard to determine but I would guess at about 5 times the size of a X Wing & so are not the ships that Poe X wing is destroyed in.

    Okay, I switched platforms and I see the comparison and you are absolutely right. They are different (though I contend they will likely have the same manufacturer when the technical manual is released).


    You are right. I was wrong.

    The only TLJ teaser photo I could see in this thread wasn't showing that tail section of the cockpit. Basically my best look at these today only showed the two vehicles on the extreme right part of your third picture in an earlier post and another picture in the same post that gave a different perspective on possible scale. I don't know if the pictures were clipped by my company web filter or what, but I definitely feel silly seeing this shot of the five vehicles in a row again.

    You were right and I was wrong.

    At a minimum, I expect that Luke communed with Yoda and Obi Wan's Force ghosts during his 30 year hiatus. Since Star Wars doesn't use flashbacks, the prevailing theory is Force visions like Rey's in TFA. However, I believe that the screenplay will incorporate the Mortis arc in some way that people who haven't watched The Clone Wars can still understand the major parts. If my belief is correct, then there is also a good chance that Anakin's Force ghost will fill in blanks for Luke that even Obi Wan cannot.

    But isn't that point about Reddit more the thoughts from inqusitr than the nerdist? The nerdist video doesn't reference Reddit, unless it's said by the guy off-screen, who you can barely hear. Also, I thought the nerdiest was a pretty thorough and reliable outlet when it came to spoilers, no?

    Dont know what is about latest "rumor" that "leaked" that SNOKE is not a true name but an acronym.

    Apparently if the rumor is right many years before The Force Awakens people of the Galaxy ( possibly remnants of the Empire,or Luke and Lea) encountered a strong Dark Side figure in Unknown Regions no one knew existed , one that will become their Supreme leader .

    Since the only Dark Side wielders they knew could exist were a Sith ( and he does not need to be Sith,probably isn't), and Sith were supposed to be extinct, someone coined an acronym. They don't know his true name, maybe nobody knows. He is a Supreme Leader ( which is title) and everybody refers him , talk about him as a Snoke.

    Sith No One Knew Existed (S.N.O.K.E.)

    Somehow, from my perspective, this fitts to perfectly to be a joke or coincidence?

    I think Star Wars is big enough and vast enough that regardless what his name is, an acronym could have been found.

    Jeff sounds like a real name.

    Chewbacca.
    Jabba.
    Bip Fortuna.
    Salacious Crumb.

    Fairly relative as to what sounds real.

    Yap and all those names sound good to my ears.

    Snoke sounds....."underwhelming" for personal name of the most powerfull evil character in the galaxy..

    ...did we came to this galaxy to have a weaker name of main villain than the evil ruler in "Flash Gordon" : Emperor Ming, ...or from "Superman " how this sounds to you: General Zorg ?
    wow. (and both films were "cheap" compared to Star Wars btw.).

    Snoke is an acronym, they would put a "strong" name if it was his true one ,one that does not require further explanation.

    This one is puzzling and holds another story behind it, one to be revealed.

    There is a baseball player on the Toronto Blue Jays called Smoak. Pronunciation is like smoke. His nickname should be Supreme Leader.

    I believe the new ships from the trailer are Admiral Holdo's (Laura Dern) fleet that are meeting up with the Resistance. During the battle Leia's ship gets attacked and boarded by Phasma. Leia helps Poe, Finn, BB-8 and Rose get away by using the force but either is badly injured or captured. Once the Resistance flees, this is when Admiral Holdo tries to take over the Resistance in Leia's absence. Holdo may prove incompetent and conflict with Poe causing him and Finn to take matters into their own hands. The Resistance retreats to Crait but eventually is found (because Holdo is incompetent?) and they have the battle with the walkers.

    Meanwhile, Rey is reading Jedi training manuals while Luke yells at birds and muses about ending the Jedi inside a giant tree. :D
